mc inside gnome-terminal without accented characters!?

[Joerg Desch]

Yet one more problem with accented characters (öäü).

I'm not able to use öäü... within mc. gnome-terminal itself knows these
characters. mc doesn't allow to use this keys as input.

I've tried dpkg-reconfigure locales with de_DE.ISO-8859-1 (my default
after installation) and de_DE.UTF8. Both settings doesn't work for mc.
Instead, UTF8 comes with new (display) bugs. So I'm using ISO-8859- again.

Any hints?
