[FreeNX-kNX] AltGr key doesn't work

Hi,

same problem here. AltGr does not work, and changing the keyboard model to 102 
or 104 keys did not help either.

To make it more complicated, sometimes - very rarely - it does work for a 
while, without having changed anything. Then it's dead again.

On the other hand, sometimes hitting AltGr too often makes the whole keyboard 
go nuts, then not any key is recognised.  This can be repaired by hitting 
Ctrl (just Ctrl alone, without any other key).

Just in case it matters: I am using freenx on a SUSE 10.0 box, and connect to 
it from my WinXP box, using the NX-client version 1.5.

A fix to the problem would be highly appreciated.
Hermann
