Sorry for posting multiple times. But at least for those searching for a 
solution, it might be helpful to learn about the different 
solutions/workarounds:
If you're altogether happy with the default german keyboard layout and just 
need to be able to type ñ/Ñ, you might consider modifying the german keymap 
file as described in http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=203076 , 
George999's post
(you should know know how to use a terminal and sudo, though):
comment out the bindings for key <AB06> (on my system it was line 43) by 
preceding the line with '#' and add the line
    key <AB06>  { [         n,          N,               ntilde,     Ntilde     
] };
there. Then delete the precompiled keymaps (rm /var/lib/xkb/*.xkm) and restart 
the PC (or X). After that, AltGr+n/N types ñ/Ñ. Very intuitive, and I don't 
miss the characters originally bound to AltGr-n/N.
