Bug#514053: Broken AltGr Seems to be a Gnome bug



reassign 514053 gnome-settings-daemon
thanks

I further debugged this bug. What I observed is:

Leaving gdm aside, starting my gnome session from scratch via startx.

* If I do not have any .Xmodmap around, I get my regular, unmodified
German keyboard layout, and everything, especially AltGr, is fine.
* If I then put the .Xmodmap in place and start GNOME, I get the dialog
which modmap files I want to load. I select mine, and it has the desired
effect. AltGr still works.
* If I then log out and in again, and GNOME loads the .Xmodmap file at
the session start, I do get the effect of the .Xmodmap, but
additionally, AltGr starts to behave strange.

Maybe gnome-session-daemon applies the Xmodmap at an unfortunate time of
the system start?

I have attached the output of startx. There is a warning that might be
related to what’s happening, although it happens in each of the three
cases described above.

Greetings,
Joachim
