Can´t use ÅÄÖ in filenaming and in urxvt [SOLVED]

Question

I´m getting nutts, I searched the net on how to get it to work but haven´t found a solution.
In Nautilus I can´t change a file or folder to a name with ÅÄÖ in the name, when i try it just prints me that it´s not valid.
And in urxvt I can´t type ÅÄÖ either, nothing happens when I press the keys.
It works fine when writing in documents and so on but not in filenames and urxvt.
Here is some of my configed files...
rc.conf
LOCALE="sv_SE.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="no"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Stockholm"
KEYMAP="sv-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
fstab
/dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 ntfs-3g defaults,user,locale=sv_SE.utf8 0 0
In locale.gen both "sv_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8" and "sv_SE ISO-8859-1" is uncommented.
Would really appreciate some help here

Answer 1

1) Try "setxkbmap se", after xorg-server 1.6 and/or evdev 2.2.1 update I have to use setxkbmap with X, "fi" layout in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi doesn't seem to work
2) Start urxvt from another urxvt, and if you see something like
urxvt: the locale is not supported by Xlib, working without locale support.
try starting with LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" urxvt and see if it works; of course you would need that locale. I personally specify LC_CTYPE in ~/.profile.
I used option 2) with success before, but now I use 1) since 2) doesn't seem to be enough.
In ttys I get "åäö" with "altgr+åäö", without altgr it's "}{|" respectively. Haven't really looked into it, since i don't use them
Also, ntfs doesn't need locale option anymore http://www.ntfs-3g.org/releases.html
Change: The 'locale=' mount option is not used anymore for filename characterset conversion. Instead filenames are always converted to UTF-8.
