My apologies - I've worked out what you meant (I hope)
$xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_L = Multi_key"
scott@work:~/spec$ touch è
scott@work:~/spec$ ls
è

Works fine. The problem is not creating filenames with special
characters - it's translating the existing ones (from MS files) into UTF.

I have the same problem as the original poster - I'd like to find a way
to retain the original accented characters - if indeed, they're not
already lost.

Cheers
