Hi David, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, toggling the input method does not make a difference in an xterm window. (It does, by the way, have the effect you mention in a Cygwin64 terminal window.)
The X server does not use the Windows input method, but tries to setup an appropriate X keyboard configuration based on the Windows keyboard layout selected when it starts up.
I suspect that an unexpected keyboard configuration is being used, if it has dead keys when you don't want them.
Can you show /var/log/XWin.0.log, or at least the portion of that describing what keyboard configuration is being selected, e.g.:
[1236607.031] (--) Windows keyboard layout: "00000809" (00000809) "United Kingdom", type 4 [1236607.031] (--) Found matching XKB configuration "English (United Kingdom)" [1236607.031] (--) Model = "pc105" Layout = "gb" Variant = "none" Options = "none"

You can toggle this with <Windows Key>+<space>. Many Dell machines are configured to use the US-international keyboard that encodes "<char> to an umlaut, so "e to ë and so on. As a monlingual Aussie I find the plain "US Keyboard" has fewer surprises.
