Indeed, it appears under the X11 options but when i set it the VM does not start. 
Now...there goes my Linux dumminess...how do i set UTF-8 as my locale?
Is it the
	LANG=el-GR.utf8

I 've put some keyboard event buffer printing in my input interpreter so
that i can see if keyboard events are generated and with what values...
When i change the keyboard to my locale, no printing to the
Transcript...no events generated at all...
Why is that?
