I can't make special characters for my language (norwegian characters, to be specific) display in urxvt terminal. Nothing happens when I try to type them. This works perfectly in xterm. Anyone got any advice? I went through the urxvt man, but I couldn't spot anything relevant.

I figured out the problem, and I never would've guessed it. The problem seems to be with qingy. Whenever I start X from qingy with .xsession, special characters do no work in urxvt. If I launch it from normal agetty I can use all special characters in urxvt. I never would've thought qingy was the problem, but is there a way to fix this? Or should this be considered as some kind of bug? As I'd like to continue to use qingy, but only if I can fix this problem.
EDIT: I should mention that if I launch Console from qingy and then run startx everything works. The only difference I know of is that startx uses .xinitrc, while qingy starts X using .xsession. Both files are identical, so I don't know what's causing this.
