Yeah, this stuff is all tricky to get working right. I recommend first
trying to get to the point where you can cat and less files with funny
characters in them, and then introduce something like Sup. (And that's
typically the point where you see the difference between ncurses.so with
and without the patch.)

Probably the umlauts themselves aren't in utf8. I have had success with
gnome-terminal and TERM=xterm, so I bet you can get this combo to work.
Try changing your locale from utf8 to en_GB.iso-8859-15 here (if you're
using Ubuntu, you can edit /etc/default/locale an re-log in, then
`locale` to check.)
