That's because KDE is not 'just' a window-manager - it manages its own locale 
configuration, regardless of X's. If you want consistency, you must configure 
X to use us-intl.

The last time I used fluxbox (early last year) I was led to believe the 
simplest way to do this was to 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Beats me. I always used (´-c) (dead key for the acute accent), as it's the 
common way in Brazil. It should work with any combination of X plus wm. 
(however, see the bug #)
