Yes, we just started :)

What locale are you running?

How do you switch your keyboard layouts? alt+shift? Is this the same
if you run "setxbmap gr" from dtterm?

I did try the similar setup, running LANG=C with

$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include 
"pc+pl+de:2+altwin(left_meta_win)+group(sclk_toggle)+ctrl(swapcaps)+compose(102)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"
      };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc101)"     };
};

And when I use scrolllock to switch to the German layout
everything seems fine except that German characters are
not visible for dtterm. But this is bacause of locale
 - when I start 

  env LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1 /usr/dt/bin/dtterm 

this terminal window even display German characters properly
(except for the Euro sign of course).

dtwm probably implements core ICCCM window manager features [1]
and not Extended Window Manager Hints[2]. So I would not expect that
applications that try to know more about the window management
will work as expected.

You might want to try some very simple window manager
(including my favourite dwm [3]) you will see that 
stalonetray is being treated just like anyother X client.
