I have trouble with accented letters in many applications that use gtk 1/2
(gaim comes to my mind now). So there is a problem hidden somewhere...
It shouldn't be gkrellm's fault.

Don't do this.  It will only bring problems (programs may rely on the
default name, and if you change it, they will break).  Instead, set your
package name (PKGNAME) to match the same in gkrellm1, so gkrellm2 behaves
as an update for it (see chat/xchat2 for an example).

All at once will be ok.
