Hm, this might be a silly question, but just in case... Could this be problem 
with font - did you only try in xterm or also in some other applications with 
different fonts? Does running xev show "odiaresis" and other characters on 
those keys in right places?
I've tried setting XkbLayout to "de" and in gedit (for example) I do get the 
right characters at least according to this picture:

With "en" layout (or no explicit layout setting), do you get proper response 
from those keys?

At least we're getting closer :)
