this is getting off-topic, but then:
from the gnome menu: system->preferences->keyboard, select the layout
tab, click on layout option, choose a compose key position of your
taste (i usually keep it on the 'menu' key). You then get accented
letters by using 'compose accent letter' i.e. to get á you tap the
newly defined compose key, then tap the ' then tap the a.
If you're not using gnome, it can be done with xkeycaps or even by
fiddling with xorg.conf directly, but's been a long time and I don't
really remember how right now.
This works best if you are using a plain US-english keyboard and
layout, of course, otherwise you miss the standalone accents needed
for the trick.
A full list of compose combinations is somewhere under /usr/share/keymaps
