I'm using Norwegian keyboard layout, but we also use letters with 
accents (though not nearly as extensively as in French). To produce the 
cédille on my keyboard, I press 'Alt Gr'+',' then the letter 'c' or 'C', 
like this: ç Ç =). 'Alt gr' is my right Alt key. The 'Alt gr'+',' 
combination constitutes what is known as a "dead-key", because no output 
is immediately seen without subsequently pressing another regular key. 
Xev tells me that 'Alt Gr' has the keysym "ISO-Level3-Shift", which 
makes sense. There is also another approach using the "Compose" key, 
which I think will also work if your layout does not use dead keys, 
though I am not sure about this. I can produce the cédille by also 
pressing: 'Shift'+'Alt-gr', then the first part of the composition ',', 
then the letter 'c' or 'C', like this: ç Ç. The 'Shift'+'Alt gr' 
combination has the keysym 'Multi_Key'.

Øyvind.
