I forgot to provide setxkbmap output:

% setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
    xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"    };
    xkb_types     { include "complete"    };
    xkb_compat    { include "complete"    };
    xkb_symbols   { include
"pc+latam+us:2+inet(evdev)+group(alt_shift_toggle)+level3(ralt_switch)"
   };
    xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"    };
};

It looks as I wanted it.  BTW, I changed to pc105, and that made no
change at all.  I also tried the intl variant, which didn't work, and
used ralt_switch_multikey instead of ralt_switch.  Nothing seems to
change the current behavior.

To me alt-gr keys are working OK...  The tip to use xev reveals for
typing í (´ followed by i):

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0x137, subw 0x2000002, time 2062916, (40,45), root:(1765,375),
    state 0x0, keycode 34 (keysym 0xfe51, dead_acute), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 b4) "´"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0x137, subw 0x2000002, time 2068556, (40,45), root:(1765,375),
    state 0x0, keycode 31 (keysym 0x69, i), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (69) "i"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

When I copied/pasted the output, where it said "´" it pasted instead
"?", however urxvt showed correctly "´".  Something weird as well is
that I can copy accented chard from gtk+ applications to urxvt/xterm.

However I'm not sure if the right behavior with xev should have been
to show a combined "í" instead of 2 chars...  That's what I expected
to be shown by urxvt/xterm, but the events would reflect the accent
key and then the i key, which happen in that order, so it might be xev
is showing the events OK...

Any other thoughts/hints/suggestions?


Thanks,
