xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = dead_grave dead_acute"
This way i can use the "windows" key, down on the left side of my keyboard, as a double-use compose key.
Clicking window key before a vowel gives that vowel with a grave accent: àèìòù
Instead, clicking shift-window key before a vowel gives the acute accent: áéíóú

When I got my Nokia keyboard all I had to do was tell the N800 it was there. I didn't need xmodmap (unless it's already installed and I just don't know it.
Of course, the "windows" key is actually labeled "Alt/Gr" on the Nokia keyboard.

It works fine, except how do you avoid getting the capital version of the letter with shift-window?
Here's what I get: (letter, windows+letter, shift/windows+letter)

EDIT: Ah, shift/windows, followed by *release* both of them, then letter.. that works!
