Latest news:

starting the X-Window with xinit, 
then starting the windowmanager "fvwm"
or "twm", 
then running mathematica and it works.

The above procedure 
with Windowmanager "kde" fails. 

Simply startx with default "fvwm" and without
the above procedure fails too (same missbehaviour
of input-forms as described in the beginning).
