Description of problem: On my white macbook I used to set my right "apple key" (ie the "windows" key) to access to important chars as @ # [ ] ~ that are in 3rd level. I used to do that in the gnome "keyboard preferences" -> "layouts" -> "layout options" -> "key to choose 3rd level" checking the "right win" checkbox. It has always worked (at least since FC7, when I bought the mac), but stop working today after upgrading via F12-Beta DVD and then net-upgrading to the latest packages versions. 2 strange things happens: 1) the combination "right win" + "any key" doesn't produce any output (or cursor movement) 2) the thing works as expected inside gnome-terminal!!! I've also tried making a new fresh user with newly created gnome settings but the problem is still there. This is my smolt profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_fbd0b2fa-ad48-4397-a450-8e71cf95bae7 and I'm available to answer any questions or do any test could help to solve this issue! Thanks!

actually, the two files i really need are: - the output of "xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY -" - the output of xev when you trigger a 3rd level key (or try to anyway). Thanks

Hi Peter, I've attached the output you requested! Thanks for following this bug! Bye, Federico
output looks alright to me. (In reply to comment #0) > 2) the thing works as expected inside gnome-terminal!!! verified. works in gnome-terminal, xev and xterm. Doesn't work in gedit and firefox. Matthias - any hints? command to reproduce: setxkbmap -layout it -option "lv3:rwin_switch" rwin + q should produce '@'.
I've tracked this down to trouble with consumed modifiers when e.g. ISO_Level3_Switch and Super are mapped to the same modifier.

Hi, the gtk2 update solved the problem for the gtk2 apps, but not for Firefox. What's next step? Should I provide more infos? Thanks a lot!
