Still, what's the solution to defining your keyboard correctly *before*
you start Xwin?.
I guess it must be simple, but probably I oversee some configuration
file or anything similar.

Sorry for being persistent, but I guess I have to revisit alt-Gr key
problem using a Spanish keyboard.
Just tried xserv version 4.3.0-30 (I used the 4.3.0-21 before), and
starting X-windows in either a xfree bash shell as well as the CDE
environment xmodmap tells me that I have only 2 definitions per key
(normal key usage and Shift-key combination). So the Alt-Gr definition
is not defined for the keys.
I've just tried
$ setxkbmap es
Pressing AltGr + '1' results in '|'
but xmodmap -pke does not print the extra symbols. So this must be a bug
in xmodmap.
For your problem with spanish layout and CDE (which is most likely a
quite old X11 installation) I'd pass you on to xfree86@xfree86.org.
Xf86Config and the es keyboard map have been modified to define AltGr as
Mode_Switch. I tried various startup parameters with the XWin
executable, but no success. I installed xserv 4.3.0-30 over version
4.3.0-21 using the Cygwin setup program. It's running in Windows XP.
