Bug#496004: /usr/bin/xmodmap: xmodmap fails to properly map e key

[Michael Gibbs <upsilon.alpha@gmail.com>]

Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.3+4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/xmodmap


When the keycode for the e key is set so that AltGr modifies it's output, holding AltGr and pressing the key just gives the letter e 
instead of what it is set to (similarly for Shift-AltGr).

for example I have set the keycode as: 'keycode  26 = e E ae AE ae AE'
but I get e or E whether AltGr is pressed or not. The same thing happens for all AltGr mappings for the key that I've tried, and 
other keys don't seem to show this behaviour (I set 'keycode 32 = o O odiaeresis Odiaeresis odiaeresis Odiaeresis' for example and can type
ö or Ö fine). Also, changing the behaviour for the key when AltGr is not pressed works, and deadkeys used with the key work.

I noticed that the original setting seemed to be that e didn't have any AltGr mappings while every other letter did, for some reason 
(not sure if that's related).
