Jorgé,
I got it working. Turned out the reason it didn't work was the fact that 
I put the startup command at the very bottom of the .xinitrc file. Once 
I moved it to the top of the file it works. As for the a and U 
diaeresis, I had those working also, but coded to the z and x keys. I 
looked in my book on learning spanish and it does not use the u or U 
diaeresis anywhere in the book, so I'm not going to use those key codings.
In my .xmodmaprc file I added this line -
keycode xx = u U udiaeresis Udiaeresis
(the x's are whatever keycode you want to use of course).
