Hey presto, German keyboard, which will print too :-) "But I don't want a German keyboard," you say; "I just want an umlaut." It's a hard life, Sean, a hard life.Life is not that hard, at least for entering international characters. :-)

That mostly worked, except that 115 has keyboard repeat on by default, which makes using it as a modifier difficult. I couldn't figure out how to modify this in X, so as a hack I added "/usr/bin/X11/xset -r 115" as a GNOME startup program (GNOME Control Center/Advanced). If someone knows the correct way to make this change, please let me know. In any event, it appears to work.
Download xkeycaps from the web, it has a nice GUI and alows you to dump a xmodmap file with your changes. I moved my ALT key and my Win key is now Meta my ~ is no-longer dead etc... nice little changes.. to bad that if you put them in the .bashrc file you can't do working SSH sessions.. but it's ok..
If this is too much work (or my instructions don't work on your system), there is always the Programs/Utilities/GNOME Character Map application.
Wow I didnt even know there was one..
