I haven't reported it to the Ubuntu devs, specially since I'm not sure it's a
bug in their keyboard layouts.
> From what I have read on the subject the proper keysym for the right alt in

keyboard layouts with altGr functionality (such as the one I use) is either
Mode_switch (0xff7e) or ISO_Level3_Shift (0xfe03), depending on the X version;
the previous (7.10) version of Ubuntu apparently used Mode_switch, whereas the
current one (8.04) uses ISO_Level3_Shift.

Mode_switch is handled, at least partially, in Wine (it is given the same
scancode as XK_Alt_R in the array nonchar_key_scan, although it doesn't have an
associated VK in nonchar_key_vkey), but ISO_Level3_Shift is not.

BTW, I'll continue looking for info on this (I don't know where to find
authoritative information on the subject), but from posts in the
[e-mail] list going back as far as 2004 I've got the feeling that
binding Mode_switch to the right alt key is deprecated and should be replaced
with ISO_Level3_Shift.
