[I also use Ubuntu 13.10.] Though I compile my own Emacs in ~/bin, I see 
that in the Ubuntu repositories there is Emacs 24.3+1-1ubuntu3., so you 
might as well update your Emacs.

Also, as Peter Dyballa has suggested, I use an international keyboard 
layout with “dead keys”.

As a matter of fact, I have two keyboard layouts: «English (US, 
international with dead keys)» and «Spanish». I prefer to use the 
English layout because I have easier access to some symbols (|, \, etc.) 
with it. You can change and add keyboard layouts in System Settings -> 
Text Entry.

Also, I can type accented characters with Alt Gr + vowel.
