Further investigation showed that it seems to be related with the use of 
the "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" layout for keytables.
Knopper uses it to autoconfigure not only knoppix (as seen in 
"knoppix-autoconfig") but also in his german-english modified OpenOffice.

Would it be possible for him to configure the german keyboard in any 
other way in order to avoid the OOo "nodeadkeys" effect?
That way the deadkeys-based languages would also work right from the CD.

Also, I would like to contribute portuguese localization strings that 
I've using for the "knoppix-autoconfig" script, but I do not know where 
to send them.
