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"
