With xterm and Emacs.  I didn't test other ones.  The xmodmap
command solves the problem for both apps, so I assume that it is a
global X setting.

Well, it I don't know whether it is a global Windows feature but I
have no dead keys with Wordpad, Cygwin's Bash and PuTTY.

German.

What do you mean, the keyboard layout?  I don't know where to look
this up, but German umlauts work as expected.

Tschö,
Torsten.
