Bug Description

LXKeymaps in its actual form seems pretty much useless to me. I you're going to show all it shows up the content of xorg.list - which a normal person like me, absolutely not has the skills to deal with.

Then, i'm on a german keyboard setup (although my preferred languagesare italian and french ) and i've a lot of problems with the third level chooser. When i do `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` (as keyboard i chose Apple_Laptop) i can set the keyboard to do the accents/deadkeys etc. correctly but the third level chooser does not work (no @, € etc). When i do `sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales` and then change to UTF8-deu i get it but i loose ALT-CTRL-F1 through F6 and similars (no killing of X by ALT-CTRL-BACKSPACE as well).

I found this interesting thread which pretty much describes my problem:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-power.../msg00221.html

In this thread there was suggested the solution to use Fn with ALT, release fn and keep ALT then keep the extra signs. That worked - on a different setup (mintppc11) as long as i sticked with their original display manager (gdm). When i installed lightdm and chose is as preferred dm i lost it and it did not come back by choosing newly gdm.

In any case there is something really badly wrong in the third level activation for mac keyboard and the standard way a linux keyboard should work.

Sorry in advance, if i'm exposing the problem in an unprofessionaly way.
