[ale] accented characters

[Jim Kinney]

My son wants to be able to insert accented characters in Fedora 10.
The default character set is UTF-8 so it has the ability. But I don't
see what it works in. I've tried gnome text editor, openoffice, and
gnome terminal with no joy. It should work within all of gnome
environment using the AltGr + foo sequence but I see nothing.

So how is this wonderful capability used?
