Hello,
I recently switched to emacs23 and I think it's great. I have had
problems however with my Spanish keyboard. Every time I need an
accented character (á), I get the character in the minibuffer, but not
in the text area. I have tried switching to spanish-* encodings but no
luck. Does any of you know what I'm doing wrong? BTW, my Emacs22, same
apparent configs, behaves as expected.
Thanks.

Don't know. Ver. 22 is not yet wholly based on utf-8 so it probably does 
things differently. You can get most European diacritics (including all 
Spanish ones) by using latin-1-postfix input method:

C-x ret C-\ latin-1-postfix

then a' produces á. Other combos are shown by

C-h I latin-1-postfix

hth

It's better you try to make your tests by launching GNU Emacs with -q  
or -Q. A lot of GNU Emacs 22 customisation deals with making it work  
with non-US-ASCII encodings. This has changed in GNU Emacs 23.

You can check what your keyboard emits by first pressing C-q and then  
the keyboard key. GNU Emacs seems to have problems with composing  
Latin characters. The dead keys you press make it report in echo  
area. This cures the problem:

	(load-library "iso-transl")

A good start is also to set an environment variable like LC_ALL (or  
LANG).

It's greater, I mean it becomes useful, with

	(load-library "iso-transl")
