[oXygen-user] Keyboarding accented characters?

Please forgive me and point me in the right direction if this is 
available in a FAQ, but I have not found exactly this problem:

With Oxygen 10.1 under Ubuntu 8.10 and a Norwegian Windows keyboard I 
have problems with characters that need the AltGr-combination. (And with 
some other keyboard-related setups, for instance I have a keyboard setup 
for Greek which works fine in all other programs than Oxygen)

the top-right key on my keyboard is supposed to give accent-grave when i 
click this key first and then a character key for which there is an 
accent-grave combination. If I hold down the AltGr-key, click on this 
before mentioned key and then a character key for which *this* is 
meaningful, I get an acute accented character. But in Oxygen neither of 
these combinations work.

On this same keyboard I am supposed to hold down AltGr and type "2" to 
get the "@". this also doesn't work in Oxygen, I just get the "2". It 
seems as if all the combination keys are non-functioning when I am 
typing in text in Oxygen. Are there any settings where I can turn on 
ordinary keyboard behaviour?

Best regards,
