I am using Czech-qwerty as my primary keyboard layout ("us" being the second). This one is missing some commonly used characters like " ", "|" etc. To reach these characters without having to switch the keyboard layouts, I use Right Alt + key combinations, like RAlt+V for " ", RAlt+W for "|" etc.

Recently, I have added Slovak keyboard layout to my setup. From that change, Konsole stopped accepting these combinations and so I cannot type these characters in the shell using other than the "us" layout. However it still does *something*, e.g. (using "cz" layout) RAlt+E produces two empty rectangles (while this should output the Euro sign).

My current settings read:
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout cz,us,sk -variant qwerty,,qwerty

Trying to remove the Slovak layout, returning to the previous setup, did not help. Other applications work correctly (just like Konqueror, I have written this report using Czech layout only, no troubles entering "at" or "pipe" using RAlt+V and RAlt+W respectively).
