True, Del Gato ( "of the cat" in Spanish) is either spanish or from some country in south America.

Marta is Guatemalan, I think.
There's Manu from Focus Group, though they don't say where exactly he's from.
The old guy who restores the painting in Daphne Does Dinner also has a thick foreign accent, but I can't place it.

I don't think they mention that.
Perhaps you are thinking about the argentine polo player Esteban de Rojo who punched Frasier in the face and is now dead.

Oh, yes. I end up skipping through scenes with her whenever I watch that episode.

Roz wants to end things with him, but since the boyfriend doesn't speak English, she needs Frasier to speak to him in French. The guys end up talking about where to get a good steak to eat while Roz thinks Frasier is letting him down gently. Pretty funny, wish I could remember the episode.
Another one is a caller named Danielle who is speaking English with a French accent and says she has a problem with her "monsieur". Neither Frasier or Roz can understand what she is saying each time she says "monsieur". Was that supposed to be funny, since Frasier spoke French and couldn't understand her? Didn't really get why it was funny.

Yeah, people tend to have divided opinions on that one. She either has a thick/weird accent or the sound quality is bad or both, but I (even though I didn't speak any French at the time) understood she meant "monsieur" right away. Though that's not to say that Frasier had to understand her as well. Sometimes (rarely, but it happens) I can't seem to understand something someone says even in my mother tongue, for no good reason at all - my brain just refuses to interpret it properly.
On a related note, would a French speaking woman actually say "my monsieur" without trying to be funny or ironic? It sounds like something out of the 19th century.

That's Frasier in Ham Radio about Roz. She could never speak that role correctly, first she was speaking while eating cheese and then she came back from the dentist and was incomprehensible..."I can't believe one of my guests could be a mudipemudeheh..."
