Comment 3 for bug 403397

On my laptop (i386) I don't see this problem (I get a german keyboard layout with no dead keys after login). Doing a quick compare of some config files (/etc/default/console-setup and /etc/X11/xorg.conf) don't show any difference in the keyboard layout configuration.
My desktop is amd64 and when looking at bug #416917 an other amd64 seems to have a similar problem.

Any hints how to figure out why my laptop (i386) doesn't show this problem while my desktop (amd64) shows it are highly welcome.
