Once more, I got more information :) I just understood the problem 
(after 2 days work...)

If I change the KDE keyboard layout do basic, *it works*. I can do that 
with the command (and from KDE configurator too):
   setxkbmap -model pc101 -layout us -variant basic

Apprently the problem is that dosemu gets confused if the keyboard 
already has double keys.

But, this is a *global* configuration, then I cannot use accents in any 
non DOS program.

NOW, can anyone tell me how to setup dosemu properly or how to setup 
this keyboard for only one application????
