Bug Description
Binary package hint: vim-latexsuite
Distribution affected: edgy
The title says it all, trying to insert the "é" character in a latex file via vim-latexsuite fails. Please note that the character can be displayed in the dvi file with the command \'e, and note that this doesn't happen with the other vowels: á í ó ú appear properly.
Steps to reproduce:
* Install vim (the full one) and vim-latexsuite
* Edit (via gvim or vim, doesn't matter) a tex file.
* Try to insert the character é (may not be possible on non-spanish or non-french keyboards). It will refuse.
If I uninstall vim-latexsuite I am able to insert accented e's at will.

Followup-For: Bug #257163
The problem is, that some sequences are mapped to <M-something>. Eg.
a map to <M-i>. These are understood as "character i with high bit set"
-- which happens to be e-acute. But the alt combinations are sent as
escape sequences -- at least here (as they really need to be on any
8-bit clean terminal). I will fix it by using <Esc>something explicitely
here, but am not sure, what is the correct fix.
