I have done some testing, but havn't been able to resolve the issue,
but as following:
In firefox and xchat, no AltGr combo is possible;
In Gnome-terminal and in gvim, all but tilde works
In xterm, everything works
Same issue both in xfce4 and gnome, also with an pristine user.
And yea, I'm using sid.
