This is what I did on my Kubuntu install. As you say that you can type those characters elsewhere but not in Emacs, possibly you have those settings in place, but for some reason they don't work for Emacs. If you type ' do you see the apostrophe righ away or do you need to type it twice or followed by a space? Another option is to M-x set-input-method [ENTER] spanish-prefix [ENTER] and then (IIRC) 'e -> é "u -> ü ~n -> ñ Those may work too: ^a -> â `e -> è If not, select another input method (french-prefix, etc). Beware that your X keyboard settings may clash with Emacs input method. See the info node for "International Character Set Support".
