To be or not to be (ordinary keys ~ ^ `)

Hello,
Since some months there has been a change in the behavior of the combination
AltGr+4 of the spanish keyboard. See, bug #477197
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477197

I am glad that change will be reverted. But I would like to make a change in
the configuration of the keyboard, that I do not know how to do. In Spanish
there are no chars like â, è (I think it is the first time I written the è
char since I was in Italy 15 years ago). But I ussually work with LaTeX, and
therefore I use the chars ^ and ` much more often. It would be nice to be
able to write those chars just by simply typing shift+` or ` not like now
that I have to type shift+`+space or `+space. I do not want make a global,
since that is the ordinary behavior of the windows keyboard, even Microsoft
systems behave like that.

My question is the following, which is the file I have to modify to change
that behavior. Where there are simple instructions to modify it?

Thank you,
Luis.
