Hello,
I'm using different keyboard layouts. Depending on the configuration It happens, that the applications aren't handling [AltGr]-modified keys in the right way:

Example:
My settings are:
$ setxkbmap -layout gb,us,us,us -variant intl,,,
I'm typing [AltGr]+[M] and the letter "µ" (UTF-16: 0x00B5) appears in all applications (first layout, as US layout would result in the letter "m")

Now I change:
$ setxkbmap -layout gb,us,us,ir -variant intl,,,
I'm still using the first layout. For the last "ir" is choosen as there is no "µ" no [AltGr]+[M] and the error occurs this way.

- On some applications I still get a "µ": xterm, vim-gtk, wpa_gui, konqueror and all tested KDE applications
- On some applications I get a invalid letter "�": konsole
- On some applications I get no letter at all: oowriter, inkscape, leafpad, iceweasel, opera (Qt3), opera (Qt4)

Anyway, non ASCII letters which are available without [AltGr] as well as composed letters are available any time.

I've compared the xev output for both settings. For the error situation it looks like that:

KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
    root 0x11f, subw 0x0, time 242013275, (-357,-507), root:(1906,358),
    state 0x10, keycode 108 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 92
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
    root 0x11f, subw 0x0, time 242013445, (-357,-507), root:(1906,358),
    state 0x98, keycode 58 (keysym 0xb5, mu), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 b5) "µ"
    XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 b5) "µ"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
    root 0x11f, subw 0x0, time 242013498, (-357,-507), root:(1906,358),
    state 0x98, keycode 108 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 92
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
    root 0x11f, subw 0x0, time 242013523, (-357,-507), root:(1906,358),
    state 0x10, keycode 58 (keysym 0x6d, m), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6d) "m"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

For the nice situation in the second and third entry the state is 0x90 and not 0x98.

I have the problem on a second computer also with Debian testing installation. Also on the current Knoppix CD (6.01 I think) there is the same problem. On a 
current(?) Ubuntu-Installation of a friend there is not such a problem.

I guess the problem occures, when the last configured layout makes use of a [AltGr]-modification. 

I've written here what I rate important. If you know German you may find here some more information as I asked for help in this forum:

Thanks a lot.
