[kde-linux] how do you get the circumflex vowels on the French keyboard?

[Louis Hinman]

I am running KDE 4.2.4.

I recently installed the French keyboard, which seems to have all the accented 
letters *except* for the vowels that have a circumflex over them ( a little 
"hat" like this: ^).

In Windoze, you are advised to type the circumflex and then the vowel that it 
is supposed to go over.  However, this does not work with the KDE French 
keyboard. 

Please advise.

Thanks  & Best Regards,
