Bug with spanish keys.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My test string is "ñandú piragüista". This string have this features:
 - humour ;) because "ñandu" is the spanish name of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Rhea . And the other word is
"person" navigate in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirogue .

 - ñ character http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%91 , The ñ is a key of
spanish keyboard .
 - á character, the á is keypress of ' and after a key.
 - ü character, the ü is too two keypress, in this case first keypress
is key " and the second is u

Well I test this chars with the last version of
xdotool_2.20101012.3049-4_amd64.deb

md@speccy:/$ lsb_release --all
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release:    10.04
Codename:   lucid
md@speccy:/$ 

And the return message is:

md@speccy:/$ xdotool key a
amd@speccy:/$ xdotool key ñ
(symbol) No such key name 'ñ'. Ignoring it.
(symbol) No such key name 'ñ'. Ignoring it.
md@speccy:/$ xdotool key ú
(symbol) No such key name 'ú'. Ignoring it.
(symbol) No such key name 'ú'. Ignoring it.
md@speccy:/$

Bye, thanks.
