Here are the notes I wrote to myself about diacritical marks:
************
CTL-ALT-BS and the Compose key
I've created /usr/local/bin/killx:
********** START
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -option compose:ralt
********** END
This restores the traditional method of killing an X session
and also defines the right-ALT key as the Compose key for entering a
variety of non-ascii characters - the diacriticals listed in
/usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-15/Compose
List this script in Application | Preferences | SessionandStartup
under ApplicationAutostart to ensure that it runs with startxfce4.
It can also be run manually.
