A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Dead keys are not working for the Belgian keyboard, other X applications have no problem, only java applications.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Try the following program

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test implements KeyListener
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        JFrame frm=new JFrame();
        JTextField lbl=new JTextField("Hello");
        lbl.addKeyListener(new Test());
        frm.getContentPane().add(lbl);
        frm.setVisible(true);
    }
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println("Key pressed, keycode="+e.getKeyCode()+" modifiers="+e.getModifiers());
    }
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println("Key released, keycode="+e.getKeyCode()+" modifiers="+e.getModifiers());
    }
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println("Key typed, keycode="+e.getKeyCode()+" modifiers="+e.getModifiers());
        System.out.println("Key char "+e.getKeyChar());
    }
    
}

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
When you press 'Alt Gr' together with the ~ and then the space bar the key typed event should print 'Key char ~'.
When you press '^' followed by a, the key typed event should print 'key char a' (the a should be a a with a ^ on top of it).
Essentially none of the dead keys that I tried seems to work.

Not that I did not mention the output of the keyPressed and KeyReleased output.
First test

Pressing 'Alt Gr' together with ~ gives
  Key released, keycode=61 modifiers=0
Pressing space gives
  Key released, keycode=32 modifiers=0

There is no key typed event

Second test

Pressing '^' gives
  Key released, keycode=130 modifiers=0
Pressing 'a' gives
  Key typed, keycode=0 modifiers=0
  Key char ?
  Key released, keycode=65 modifiers=0

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
