First I run the emacs daemon:
$ emacs -Q --daemon

I happen to be using fr/latin9 eeepc keyboard where
the � character is obtained through a dead key.
� = � e = Shift-^ e

### what work as expected
If I use
$ emacsclient -a '' -t anyfile.txt
to edit a file.
Pressing � (Shift-^ e) outputs the desired character (�)

In that case:
> M-x describe-key:
> > (self-insert-command N)

> M-: (terminal-parameters)
> > ((normal-erase-is-backspace . 0) (background-mode . dark) (keyboard-coding-saved-meta-mode t) (terminal-initted . terminal-init-rxvt))

> M-: (current-input-mode)
> > (t nil 0 7)

The behavior is the same when using:
$ emacsclient -a '' -c anyfile.txt
with the only exception that a new window is created instead of using
text-mode/virtual-terminal based emacs.



### what does *not* work as expected
If I use
$ emacsclient -a '' anyfile.txt
to edit a file (notice the absence of -t/-c switch)

Pressing � (Shift-^ e) has the same effect as (capitalize-word ARG) (!)
In that case:
> M-x describe-key:
> > It is bound to M-c. (capitalize-word ARG)

> M-: (terminal-parameters)
> > ((normal-erase-is-backspace . 0) (background-mode . dark) (terminal-initted . terminal-init-rxvt)

> M-: (current-input-mode)
> > (t nil t 7)

Also note that:
> M-: (set-terminal-parameter nil 'keyboard-coding-saved-meta-mode t)
didn't change the behavior *but*

> M-: (set-input-meta-mode 8)
changed the behavior to the expected one (as with -t/-c)
(although keyboard-coding-saved-meta-mode is not set to "t" as a consequence)



A last thing, if an emacsclient -t is run first, then successive
call to emacsclient without -t nor -c will just change to buffer in the
already existing frame.
As this frame was created using -t, dead keys will behave normally.
The opposite can't be tested since I can't "join" an existing frame
created without any of -t nor -c.


First question:
why these -t/-c switches (which are only about frame and buffer), change
the way dead keys / meta-mode are setup ?
= Isn't this a bug ?

Side question: is forcing (set-input-meta-mode 8) in my ~/.emacs the
right fix or just a workaround for a deeper problem ?

I found that after emacsclient -a '' is run, there were 2 ways to
restore a correct dead keys behavior:

1)
M-: (set-input-meta-mode 8)

2)
M-: (set-terminal-parameter nil 'keyboard-coding-saved-meta-mode t)
followed by
M-: (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)

But these does *not* have any effect when set inside my ~/.emacs
I initially though that because they were run too soon, or too late in
relation to loading mule.el
I was wrong in my previous email about the fact that adding
"(set-input-meta-mode 8)" to ~/.emacs solved the issue, it didn't.

After a deeper look it happens that (set-terminal-parameter) expect a
"terminal" argument.
It makes me think that the relation to emacsclient switches managing
terminal could be not so far.

By the way, still trying to localize the origin of the issue and finding
a viable ~/.emacs workaround.
