Using a custom xmodmap file I can input latin2 characters, but only
with C locales. When I export LANG=pl_PL the input does not work any
more.
Does anybody know what can cause that?

Here are some important lines from the xmodmap file:
keycode 0x71 = Mode_switch
keycode 0x26 = a A plusminus
exclamdown

This is on a debian box with perl 5.6.1, Tk 800.024 and kde2.

Here (FreeBSD 4.6, perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.0, Tk 800.024, no kde) it works:

$ xmodmap -pke
...
keycode 38 = a A plusminus exclamdown
...
keycode 113 = Mode_switch Multi_key
...

$ env LANG=pl_PL.ISO8859-2 perl5.6.1 -MTk -e 'tkinit->Entry->pack;MainLoop'

AltGr+A and AltGr+Shift+A show the plusminus and exclamdown
characters.

Maybe it's X server dependent. Here it's XFree86 3.3.6.

Now I've tried it under KDE3 without any special xmodmap (kde has its
own keyboard switch) and it works.
