I can just say, I have the same problem at work, and I switched to
another term. Which is sad.

I had the same problem at one time when I set up utf8 per the instructions one finds at -

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Make_your_system_use_unicode/utf-8
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=166984&

But I ceased doing that for my login area and eterm is working fine now.  But that's the only
reason I know of as Eterm doesn't support utf8.
