Hi: Thanks for all help so far.
In order to be more specific. Initially I was installed Ubuntu 12.04 using Spanish languaje (so my OS is current Ubuntu with spanish enviroment). During the installation process I put English to my keyboard preferences when I was asked for it from the CD. Once installed I added Spanish to my keyboard preferences. So now I have two "variant" input languaje for my keyboard preferences: "Spanish - es" and "English - en" which I use fine and I can switch between languajes with ALT + Left Shift (my preferred taste). The variant "Spanish - es" works just fine in all applications (gedit, geany, other label of the OS for input commands, etc.), it means: I type the key accent first, then the wanted letter (vocal in my case 'cause my native languaje), producing for example: á, é, í, ó, ú. But this is not what happen at Lyx so yes, is a LyX 2.0.2-specific problem for Ubuntu that I have :( I already tried (in order to test Lyx) with other "variant" input languaje for my keyboard preferences (e.g. "Spanish - Sun dead keys" or "Spanish - including tilde dead key") but still nothing, it means: I type the key accent first, then I type the desired letter, and a letter with no accent is obtained (only inside Lyx enviroment).

It seems to me that José wants a global "dead-key" behavior for his keyboard, that is: type in the accent first, then the accented letter, for _every_ accent. José, am I correct? If so: is this problem LyX-specific? Does your keyboard behave differently in, say, Gedit or LibreOffice? If not: perhaps you have accidentally selected a Spanish layout _without_ dead keys. Can you check your keyboard preferences? You have to go beyond the "layout" category and look for a "variant" which has the dead keys, e.g. "Spanish - Sun dead keys" or "Spanish - including tilde dead key".
