Why not to use two keymaps (Spanish and English) and switch between
them.  The easiest way to do it is to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (or
/etc/X11/XF86Config, if you don't have that) so that section for
keyboard (search for Driver "keyboard" to find the proper section) has
in Option "XkbLayout" Spanish keyboard (which is "es", if I am not
mistaken).
I changed my /etc/X11/XF86config file so it now reads:

   Section "InputDevice"
      Identifier        "Keyboard0"
      Driver            "keyboard"
      Option            "XkbRules"    "xfree86"
      Option            "XkbModel"    "pc105"
      Option            "XkbLayout"   "es"  #Option "XkbVariant"    ""
   EndSection
But now I get a complete spanish keyboard, and I cant switch to English. 
 And BTW, lyx still wont recognize the accented vowels...stil displays 
a capital A with a tilde on top.
