As you are using SCIM anyway to input Korean, why not use
it to input the Dutch special characters as well?

You can use the M17N-t-latn-pre input method for that.
Install scim-m17n, m17n-lib, m17n-db, libotf, and workcut.
Restart your X11 session.

Now, if you select the M17N-t-latn-pre input method in the
SCIM panel, you can get these Dutch characters by typing

    "i -> ï
    "e -> ë
    "a -> ä

(left side is what you type, right side is what is inserted,
for a complete list of the key-combinations offered by
the M17N-t-latn-pre input method, have a look at the file
/usr/share/m17n/latn-pre.mim).

SCIM also has a "raw code" input method where you can insert
the unicode code point.

In the SCIM setup dialog, you can define hotkeys to switch between
input methods. I.e. you may define key combinations to switch between
your favorite Korean input method and the M17N-t-latn-pre input
method.

You can also use compose to input these characters.  "compose" is also
supported by SCIM, to use it while SCIM is running, switch the SCIM
panel of (default Hotkeys "Shift+Space" or "Control+Space").

The Compose Keybindings for the Characters you mentioned are:

    Multi_key " i -> ï
    Multi_key " e -> ë
    Multi_key " a -> ä

The default binding for Multi_key on SuSE Linux is
Shift+RightControl.

For a complete list of compose keybindings see:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
