This is different for me. My locale definition from env:

[~] $ env | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1
GDM_LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1
[~] $        

Still I AM able to type the euro sign in xterm, and just about every gtk
dialog (funny thing, it doesn't work e.g. in gedit's text area). But it
doesn't work in evolutions composer, neither the To:, Cc: nor the body.
