Leonardo, 

I'm an English speaker, but I write to my friends in Swedish from time to
time, so I had to learn about all those funny characters they use.  I
don't understand how it's a Dia question.  Isn't it a feature of X?  

To type "eñes", I use dead keys thus:  

	e, ctrl-T (dead key) ~, n, e, s.  

Make sure that's an uppercase "T".

I tried it in Dia, adding a property to a UML class object.  It worked. 

Am I misunderstanding the problem?
