With X11 beta 3 and OpenOffice 1.0.3, I can't write accented

that the problem is that my X11 is not handling any keys as dead. (I
have tried, to no avail, with and without the preference "Follow
system keyboard layout".)
the application you're using needs to understand how to turn the dead
key events generated by the X server into accented characters
you can test if the X server is working correctly by running xev,
selecting the window it displayed and typing Option-e, if you see text
saying that the dead_acute keysym was generated, then things are
working correctly,
