In GNOME, under System Preferences (I am not using right now), you add the Spanish layout keyboard, then add the applet to the menu bar. Other way, is via commandline (for me it is faster): $ xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.es <-- will give you spanish keyboard. I use English keyboard with that xmodmap option and it means the layout will change a bit (some keys will print other characters) $ xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us <-- to get it back to english Regards, -- Mauricio Hernandez Z.
