Bug Description

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

In Jaunty, setting Right Alt as the 3rd level chooser and not setting Compose allowed me to use either of the following methods to type í:
1. AltGr + ' followed by i
2. AltGr + i

(this setting: setxkbmap -option -option nbsp:level3n,caps:escape,lv3:ralt_switch )

In Karmic, the same setting results in #1 typing 'i and #2 working

To make #1 work, I have to set Compose to Right Alt. Then, regardless of 3rd level setting, #2 breaks (types an unaccented character).

(either setxkbmap -option -option nbsp:level3n,caps:escape,compose:ralt
or
setxkbmap -option -option nbsp:level3n,caps:escape,compose:ralt,lv3:ralt_switch )

I'm using US International (AltGr deadkeys), but I tried the other 2 US International layouts and had #1 fail on them as well with the old setting.
