No, I forgot about this bugreport, thanks for the reminder.
As said in my previous mail, the fix is trivial
include "level3(ralt_switch_multikey)"
has to be replaced by
include "level3(ralt_switch)"
I asked on the xkeyboard-config ML and all layouts have been changed
this way, but I was still reluctant to break compatibility (Shift+AltGr
always produced Multi_Key). Anyway the best default seems indeed to
perform this change, and add a lv3:ralt_switch_multikey option in
/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 so that those who prefer current settings
are not lost.
I will commit a patch tomorrow.
Denis
