Details

When LANG is set to 'he', I am unable to type Hebrew characters. Hebrew
characters I type show up as accented latin1 characters. It seems to be that
those are characters with the same value of the keysym, when its upper byte is
stripped.

I have verified that key presses indeed send the correct keysyms (Hebrew_*).
When I run mozilla with a different locale, the Hebrew letters I type show up
properly.
