I think the recent postings about accented characters show that the KeyCaps
DA doesn't handle dead keys correctly.

If you bring up KeyCaps and type option-`, the option and ` keys in the
keyboard diagram briefly turn black, but nothing else happens.  In
particular, the keys which will be accented do not change.  For instance,
the "a" key square keeps showing "a", when it should change to
"a-overstrike-`".

Now that someone has mentioned it, I'm sure Apple will fix this in the next
release.  You're welcome.
