Hello, I have something similar too. I'm running the most recent KDE available
on OpenSUSE, that is currently " 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 63.3" according to
konqueror.

My default keyboard layout was german, I added thai and french instantly after
my install, thus i can't say if this introduced the problem or if the problem
already was there before.

The problem seems to be for ALL non-kde4 applications like FIREFOX, any gtk
app, ... but also any Qt app (for example, mnemosyne) and any KDE3-APP! (kwrite
from KDE3.5 does not work, kwrite from kde4 does! same for konqueror). Only
Konsole (Konsole Version 2.1 Sous KDE 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 63.3") seems
to be a kde4 app that has this problem.

Now to the problem: for ANY of the three keyboard layouts, I cannot use the
right-alt+key special keys. That is for example the pipe sign, the -at- sign,
... though copy-pasting them from another app works.

Typing ralt+< in the testing box in konsole strangely works perfect, entering a
pipe sign!

some keys react very strange. So does on a german keyboard: ralt+8 (should be
[) and ralt+9 (should be ]). If i press them alone, no reaction from konsole.
Now if I quickly press ralt+8 followed by ralt+9 (with or without releasing the
ralt key, does not matter), it enters me a ] into the console. the other way
around (first ralt+9 then ralt+8) does nothing ....


Oh ... I just found out that if I press ralt+8 and then any other key I want,
it does correctly enter that key, like stated above. thus ralt+8,ralt+8 does
enter a [ sign too, ralt+8,ralt+< does enter a pipe sign etc.

But this only seems to work in konsole, kwrite (kde3.5), firefox, mnemosyne
still seem to ignore these keys ...

I REALLY hope you'll get to fix this, at this is a huge bottleneck for me.
especially in firefox and the konsole.
