Maybe I'm missing something, but all you have to do, if you're using a US
English keyboard and want to type special characters, is enable US English
International with Dead Keys in the keyboard settings, then add the keyboard
switcher applet to your panel.  If you click on it, it goes to international
mode.  AltGr (the right alt) + n gets ñ, AltGr+a gets á, AltGr+e gets é,
AltGr+s gets ß, AltGr+u gets ú...and if you want ü you hit shift+" before
typing the u (to get a plain ", hit AltGr while you press it).
