Use the modifier key, on my keyboard for example (on a Linux box), the 
modifier key is the Windows key. Typing
Mod-',e (that is hold the modifier key while pressing ' and e consecutively), 
will produce an é.

If you can't find your modifier key (or your distro didn't setup one for you) 
read:

If you want to type Russian (for example), you can switch keyboard layouts (at 
least with KDE that is very easy to do) using a special defined keyboard 
shortcut or an system tray applet.

best,
Jeroen
