I forgot to mention in my earlier email; if you end up adopting this method, put the setxkbmap line in your shell profile file instead of your rc file (e.g. ~/.bash_profile instead of ~/.bashrc). This way it should work with all applications in your next session, even the ones you run from the menu or the Alt+F2 run dialog. To add a side note, if you know the unicode hex for a character, you can always enter it using Ctrl+Shift+u<hex code>. So for the €, that would be Ctrl+Shift+u20ac. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
