Personally I use fluxbox as WM (without DE) but I run several Gnome apps
that might fire off gnome-daemons...
But my girlfriend uses gnome on this laptop.

Not exactly, it contains a line:
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)

After this command the output from xmodmap remains the same so I assume
this is ok.

In the "gnome-keyboard-properties" Andrea mentioned the keyboard model
is set to "Generic 104-key PC" and only one layout option is selected
"Meta is mapped to the Win-keys.
Should I enable one of the options "Third level choosers"? I have
tested a little bit but it didn't seem to affect much. Do I need to
restart Gnome or X after changing anything there?
Where can I find more extensive documentation on this? the help
browser's information is quite limited.
TIA
