Only in OpenOffice.org-2.4, I'm having es_ES deadkey problems.

So you use some Spanish keyboard with one of the SCIM IMEngines? If
this is so, then you probably have something like this in your
environment:

  XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
  GTK_IM_MODULE=scim

Please try GTK_IM_MODULE=xim. Switching among keyboards will be a bit
harder (SCIM keyboard icon and the actual keyboard will sometimes be
desynchronised when you change focus among windows), but this used to
solve OpenOffice.org deadkeys problem for me in the past.

If this doesn't help, you can try textproc/scim-bridge with
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge.

Although I must add that the problem mainly disappeared when I switched
to openoffice.org-3-devel (currently running 3.1.20081024).
