 Replying to [comment:3 deryni]:
 > You press and hold capslock and type? Or were you indicating that you
 need to enable caps lock to type those characters because you cannot use
 shift the way you would for English characters?

 I have to enable caps lock and then type the umlaut, because the shift key
 would result in:

 {{{
 Shift + ä -> à
 Shift + ö -> é
 Shift + ü -> è
 }}}

 > Ah, a quick test and I can duplicate this. This would seem to be a bug
 with how GTK+ interprets that keyboard layout. It seems to simply not have
 upper case versions of those letters in the caps lock state. You should be
 able to use dead-umlaut + [AOU] to get the character(s) you need.

 Should I check in the GTK+ mailgroup for this issue? How do I use dead-
 umlaut in Windows?
