Daniel,

Please make sure your mailer respects the Reply-To: header -- I set it for
a reason.  There was no need to Cc: me -- I read the list.

At which point this stops being an X-related problem, and is better
discussed on the main list.  I've set the Reply-To: accordingly (though
the xfree list is likely to add another pointing to itself).

Displayed by what?  If you type "echo é" at the bash prompt, does that
display properly?  What about "echo -e '\0351'"?

What does "bind -v | grep meta" show when run from bash?
