How odd.

Ah, I've discovered the problem, for some reason in Digikam the order in
which the characters are typed is important!

If I type   <multi> e '   in Digikam I get nothing, however if I type
<multi> ' e   then I get an é.  Everywhere else it doesn't seem to matter
in what order I type the characters.

Anyway, I have a reasonable workaround now.  :-)
