xmodmap

[marc <gmane@auxbuss.com>]

I'm trying to use the following local .xmodmaprc

  keycode  38 = a A a A aacute Aacute
  keycode  26 = e E e E eacute Eacute
  keycode  31 = i I i I iacute Iacute
  keycode  32 = o O o O oacute Oacute
  keycode  30 = u U u U uacute Uacute
  keycode  57 = n N n N ntilde Ntilde

via

  $ xmodmap .xmodmaprc

This runs fine, but the mappings for e and n don't 'take'. Initially, 
it's as if eacute, Eacute, ntilde and Ntilde aren't defined.

However, when I use these four on other keys, say:

  keycode  38 = a A a A eacute Eacute
  keycode  31 = i I i I ntilde Ntilde

Then the characters behave as expected.

Any idea why there's a problem with the e and n keys?
