Spanish keyboard

Hi, Since SuSE 7.3 I've been using English as overall locale and a Spanish keyboard, with no problems. When I was using SuSE 9.1, I did an apt dist-upgrade and lost all accents in Lyx. I reported the bug both to KDE and SuSE. After installing SuSE 9.2, I have no accents in Lyx AND in KWord. A strange idea of progress, isn't it? Luckily, OOffice is still OK. -- Pablo Ortúzar
