Finch and terminals

Hey-ho!

So I decided to ditch Pidgin for Finch since it seems nicer to use a console based app.. And if you're unfamiliar with Finch, it's the console version of Pidgin pretty much, they are libpurple frontends.

Anyhoo, I have a problem with my fancy Scandinavian layout (ä, ö mainly). The keys don't seem to be properly recognized in Finch even though they work in the terminals themselves. xterm goes into some insane "log + | less"-mode if I press Ö. Sakura only prints ?:s and rxvt shows them correctly.

I think the hotkey support is also very inconsistent. I don't really want to use another terminal just so that I can effectively use Finch. So what's the problem?
