do you have the ISO-8859-15 100dpi fonts installed?
if you do man iso_8859-15, what does it display for the euro symbol?
if it's the generic currency symbol stick:
*VT100*font: -*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. that sorts out Xterm.

what does the X console message says for XKB? chances are something
like en_us(....)+gb.
it's that "+gb" bit that ferks it up, cause the gb symbol file does
not have the Euro sign defined anywhere (never mind altgr+e).
