It works fine here with a full Spanish environment: locale, keyboard,
etc...
I'm using a Spanish keyboard and swicthing to the "International (with
dead keys)" layout works as expected, I mean, when I press the "accented"
key of my Spanish keyboard ("´") and then press the letter ("e") I get
"é", as usual. The rest of the keys act like a US keyboard.

Does it work for a new user account?

As soon as you add a second keyboard layout, the keyboard switcher should
be present at the top bar as it happened with the old applet.
