[Nottingham] Dodgy characters

[Michael Leuty]

From time to time I am moved to write in a Language Other Than English. 
Oh all right then, French.
To do this proper, like, I néêd tò emplöy dòdgy cháràctêrs with extra 
bits on the top.
Using the gb-uk keyboard layout under KDE I can achieve this by holding 
down <Alt Gr> and pressing ;'# or [ as dead keys, which when followed 
by a vowel give áâàä respectively. And ; gives ç with c.
Unfortunately I can't get this neat trick to work under Gnome. Does 
anyone know how?

Mike
