 It is neat to be able to put any number of any accents on top of any
 letter in AbiWord. However, when you cut and paste the resulting text
 anywhere else, you don't get the standard accented vowels (líkë thìs), but
 a series of two separate unicode characters. This leads to some
 interesting but pretty irrelevant bugs (try it in the terminal).

 AbiWord should replace character-accent combos with single accented
 unicode characters when possible, at the very least on cut. (Actually it
 would be better if it happened immediately, because having to hit
 backspace twice is unexpected and mostly unuseful behaviour).
