Package: xdm
Version: 3.3.6-10
Severity: normal

somehow it is impossible to enter these chars in the login widget:
@[]{}\~|

I use XkbLayout "de", XkbVariant "nodeadkeys" and therefore all those
chars must be input when holding down the AltGr key. For example @ is
generated by AltGr-q.

Uhm, yes, usually I do not put these chars in login names or passwords,
but my users do. 

Is there a way to work around this problem?

alt-gr seems to work ok now, closing this very old bug.
