Entering accented characters.

I am using a Japanese qwerty keyboard and I found that I cannot use the alt key to enter accented characters (French in my case) in OpenOffice.org.

What I get on my display is the following:

•alt+e+letter
 aeiou (should be áéíóú)
•alt+_+letter
 `a`e`i`o`u (should be àèìòù)
•alt+i+letter
 ^a^e^i^o^u (should be âêîôû)
•alt+u+letter
 aeiou (should be äëïöü)
•alt+c
 ç (ok)
•alt+q
 œ (ok)

Basically, all the "simple" combinations work (alt+letter=output) except for a few:
alt+e does not output the [´] and alt+u does not output the [¨]


I got feedback from people who use "standard" qwerty (us ?) keyboards with X11/OOo and they told me that they had no problem entering the characters I needed in the "Mac" way (the one that I describe as "should be" above).

I am not at all a "power" user and am a little lost when I see explanations about X11 settings on the net, especially since most of them do not refer specifically to OSX.

Would there be online "tutorials" or relatively simple documents to set up a correct input method ?
