Re: How to set up my kbd to be able to use French accents when replying to email in Kmail

[Rex Teague <elists234@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "Character Selector" panel applet is serving my limited need for 
non-keyboard characters very well.

To install right click on the Panel>Add to Panel>Applet>Character 
Selector. Once installed, it is configured with the characters of 
your choice, which can be selected via "KCharSelect" via the "K 
Menu".

At least that is my experience with Simply Mepis 3.4-3 but I note 
Kubuntu 5.10 doesn't have the option in its standard installation.

Cheers... Rex
