Rich,

I forget which Linux distro you use, but you might want to check whether 
there is a keyboard layout option for the compose key. There is on Mint. 
I set it to the right alt key, so I can just type right-alt, " and a 
letter (three separate key strokes, not a chord) to get an umlaut or 
right-alt, ~, n to get ñ, etc.
