OT (non-US characters in LyX under SuSE 7.1 & KDE 2.01)

Hello! I have Croatian characters (although it seems that there is no Croatian keyboard layout in KDE 2.x, I have to use Slovenian) in all applications under KDE 2.x. However, in LyX I cannot enter Croatian characters since LyX 1.1.6fix1 uses Xforms 0.89 and I was told that Xforms has its own handling of keyboard events. Any idea how to fix it? Sincerely, Sasa
