Dead keys not working in KDE

[Basil Fowler]

Hi  Guillermo,

KDE sits on top of the X server, and the latter has to be set up correctly. If 
XFree is set up wrongly, KDE settings will have no effect. 

Check your XF86Config file.  This is usually in /etc/X11/

This is the part of my file that defines the keyboard options. I use dead 
keys.

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "Keyboard"
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"
  Option       "XkbLayout" "fr"
  Option       "XkbModel" "pc104"
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
EndSection

Look for anything like: 

Option "nodeadkeys"

Check to see if "XkbLayout" is "es"

Hope this helps

Basil Fowler
