The biggest issue seems to be with step 1. Using the compose sequence
for á (compose ' a) I get the following:

First box: á
Second: c3 a1
Third: C3 83 C2 A1 

If however I use the "copy from outside and paste into box" method then
I see:

First: á
Second: e1
Third: C3 A1

This was with the 32 bit Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22 plugin installed from
flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386.rpm in a 64bit Firefox 3.5 browser
on Fedora 11 (using the 32/64 bit nspluginwrapper).
