I have this in my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from data in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard"
    Identifier    "Keyboard0"
    Driver        "kbd"
    Option        "XkbLayout" "fr"
    Option        "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option        "XkbVariant" "latin9"
EndSection

and locale command returns:

LANG=fr_FR.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ALL=


What I don't understand: with other terminals (like xfce or gnome
terminal), in other applications (emacs, mail compose... etc.) these
keys work. How can I enable them in urxvt. (also ` is not working...)

Thanks.
