I just upgraded Ubuntu on a Shuttle Computer to 12.04 beta 2 (plus today's updates). I started with 11.04, upgraded to 11.10, then to 12.04 beta 2.

The computer is:

# dmidecode -t 2
# dmidecode 2.11
SMBIOS 2.3 present.

I have the ES Spanish and Maori layouts installed in the keyboard layout switcher. In THIS window, if I type the top row with AltGr, and the ES layout selected, I get

@ł€¶ŧ←↓→øþ[]

but in the gnome terminal window, I get

If I remove the Maori layout and type the top line as before, with AltGr depressed, I get

@ł€¶ŧ←↓→øþ[]

With Xterm, with ES selected but with Maori in the list, I get

@ł€¶ŧ←↓→øþ[]

Also, the Māori layout AltGr combinations work in xterm and in Firefox but not in gnome-terminal.
