Bug#364282: xkb-data: Layout "en_US" doesn't work anymore

[Carlos <angus@quovadis.com.ar>]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-5
Severity: important


With this keyboard layout, pressing AltGR (or right Alt) allowed the user to
input special characters (for example, AltGr+; = dead acute, AltGr+Shift+1 =
inverted exclamation mark). Now it doesn't work anymore.

To reproduce:

 $ setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc104 -layout en_US

and then press "AltGr+; a". A "LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE should be
generated. Instead, something different happens. In most cases, a
RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK is generated, as if normal Alt
was pressed (';'+128).

Thanks.

PS: Maybe this bug should go to xlibs. I'm lost.
