Bug#276143: altwin:meta_win breaks 3rd level modifier (AltGr)



Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 0
Severity: normal

I am referring the bug 275973 and declaring new one because I don't know how 
to reopen bug reports. Xkb option "altwin:meta_win" breaks AltGr (right alt) 
default functionality on my (finnish) keyboard.


$ setxkbmap -option -option altwin:meta_win
...causes maps both win keys to work as meta, but (suprisingly) AltGr no 
longer work as 3rd level modifier.

$ setxkbmap -option
...clears the options and restores AltGr functionality.

$ setxkbmap -option -option altwin:left_meta_win
...maps meta into left win key and does not break AltGr functionality, and can 
be used as a workaround.


My keyboard settings (in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4)
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "fi"
        Option         "XkbOptions"    "altwin:meta_win"
EndSection
