Had you tried pc105 without nodeadkeys?

1. You have to use a font with iso8859-15 symbols, e.g.:
---snip---
(4) netchild@ttyp0 % grep font ~/share/app-defaults/XTerm 
*font: -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
---snip---

2. You should set the right env-vars:
---snip---
(5) netchild@ttyp0 % printenv |grep -E '(LANG|LC_)'
LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15
LC_NUMERIC=C
---snip---

This at least works with 4.2.0.

Bye,
Alexander.
