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.

This changed with a recent update where it stopped connecting to the next typed character. After considerable effort I found "Deutsch (veraltet)" ie. "German (deprecated)". There used to be a way to tweak layout settings which also disappeared so there's no way for me to change this behavior.
