** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
  
- The page https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/tips-specialchars.html 
mentions the "Compose" key, but omits the efficient method that my 
configuration has as default for diacriticals: i.e. press "AltGr" (to right of 
space bar) together with ; ' or # to produce the 3 most common: acute, 
circumflex and grave, over the next character pressed.
- I realise there are a huge number of keyboards (mine is a standard UK 
version), but I expect other keyboards have similar combinations which are 
somewhat more efficient/specific compared with the methods presented.
