When you start XWin.exe, it print something like this, among other things :
(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000407" (00000407)
(--) Using preset keyboard for "German (Germany)" (407), type "4"
Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "de" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)"
expected keysym, got dead_diaresis: line 143 of pc/de
Try to add this to the XWin.exe command line : -xkbvariant nodeadkeys
