This is exactly how it is supposed to work, but the Finnish keyboard map with a Finnish keyboard does NOT do that. If you hit the " key, you get " and if you hit the ´ key you get ´. Impossible to write combined chars.
Anything else, especially combinations like ctrl-alt-u-<number>, is hardly acceptable to write continuous text. Such are X-only solutions, because people also write e.g. emails in the console.
So it seems, there is a bug in the Finnish keymapping...
Please check if this is on KDE or system level. For the system level setting see /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:KEYTABLE There I've set de-latin1.map.gz which allows me to enter for example ẽ, é, or è by first hitting one time the ~-, ´-, or `-key followed by one 'e' char.
