I've been searching the web for information about how to type accented
characters (French) using a US 104-key keyboard. I understand that a
compose key is involved, but everything I've found so far has
involved adding character<=>key mappings using xmodmap, whereas it
appears that one does not need to do that; but there seems to be an
assumption that just saying "press the compose key and..." magic
happens.
When you only need some French diacrits like accents, diaereses, cedillas,
the easiest way is probably the dead key method:

with the US International keyboard driver installed:
