And there is no way to get "C-h c" with a repeated use of æ/ø/å to get
any output?

Strange.

There is a 2.6.15-20 out now, but I had no problem with -19 either.
(Hmmm, there I noticed that I hadn't upgraded to the 686-kernel, but I
when did the 386 kernel manage to use 1GB of memory - earlier the
limit was 900MB!?)

On a Norwegian keyboard I get:

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
    root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2995185945, (84,-13), root:(92,35),
    state 0x10, keycode 48 (keysym 0xe6, ae), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 a6) "æ"
    XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 a6) "æ"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Notice the difference in the results for XLookupString and friends.

Just out of curiosity, what is the output of the following?

     xmodmap -pk|egrep '\<(ae|oslash|oe)\>'

Mine is:

     32         0x006f (o)      0x004f (O)      0x13bd (oe)     0x13bc (OE)     0x13bd (oe)     0x13bc (OE)
     47         0x00f8 (oslash) 0x00d8 (Oslash) 0xfe51 (dead_acute)     0xfe59 (dead_doubleacute)       0xfe51 (dead_acute)     0xfe59 (dead_doubleacute)
     48         0x00e6 (ae)     0x00c6 (AE)     0xfe52 (dead_circumflex)        0xfe5a (dead_caron)     0xfe52 (dead_circumflex)        0xfe5a (dead_caron)

The modifier map might also be nice to have, ie. "xmodmap -pm".
