Diego,

You need an Xorg fix, the issue has been discussed on the wmii mailing
lists some time ago. I have the fix and it works for me. I'm using a
modified version of XLC_LOCALE, you cat get the one I'm using from:

http://chopin.edu.pl/~antoni/tutaj/XLC_LOCALE

I replaced the original one in

/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE

with the modified one. I don't know whether this particular XLC_LOCALE
file will work for locales other than en_US.UTF-8, but you can probably
deduct how to modify a german one for example by looking at the
differences between this one and the original en_US one.

Hope this helps.
