Bug Description

Context:
- Ubuntu 10.04 up to date.
- NX server: neatx-server or freenx from:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
- NX client: last from NoMachine (3.4.0-7) on several Ubuntu.

Problem: with a french keyboard, when I enter @, that is Alt-Gr + 0,
Alt-Gr remains as pressed for one minute. So hitting a gives ae,
hitting z gives guillemotleft, ...
So typing "slogin user@host" or "mail x@y.z" needs to wait ~one minute
after entering @. The wait time (~one minute) is reset if any key is entered.

A solution is to use freenx from karmic (9.10).
