I have been using OpenOffice.org to type text in Dutch, French, German, Spanish and English. When I need an accent I just hit a dead key first. Of course this implies I use a US-International keyboard layout.
'+a = á `+e = è ~+n = ñ ^+i = î "+o = ö '+SPACE = ' '+c = ç
Some things can be so simple sometimes... OK, I agree that ß (German) and ţ (Romanian) or ğ and ş (Turkish) are a bit harder, although not impossible with KDE on Mandriva. (Try Right Windows Key and comma together, then c as a sequence or Right Windows Key and space together then g). Linux is a lot more versatile than Windows in this regard.
