Not positive if this is true for KDE as well, but on GNOME I have both the
US and US-International keyboards configured, and activate the Gnome
toolbar applet that lets me switch between them.
Then when you want something like é you just type apostrophe followed by e
and you get it.

In my last post, I used an accented character. I use KDE as my desktop
and Evolution 2.10 for email, and I spent about 10 minutes trying to
figure out how to *type* that accented character from my laptop
keyboard, and finally gave up. I ended up cheating by cutting and
pasting that character from a web page! So... how does one type, on a
regular US laptop keyboard, without restarting X, an accented character?

believe you don't know how to do that!" responses)
