Or even better, you can assign a key to be the Compose key.  This has
the advantage of not changing the layout of the keyboard at all.  For
example:

        xmodmap -e "remove mod1 = Meta_R" -e "keysym Meta_R = Multi_key"

will set up the right Alt key to be Compose.  If e.g. you want to type
"è", you type "RightAlt ` e".  Or if you want to type "ñ" you type
"RightAlt ~ n".

I think there is a way to do this from XF86Config too, but I don't know
how that works.
