Bug Description

Binary package hint: rdesktop

The fr-ca layout included with rdesktop uses an old, circa 1998 "legacy" layout, that does not correspond neither to the default fr-ca linux layout, nor the default fr-ca Windows layout, nor to the fr-ca Mac layout.

Altgr + the "|#\" key (under the ESC key and left of the "1" key), should map to backslash, whereas it currently displays the "notsign", that looks like this: "¬". This, added to the fact that Windows 2008 often needs user to use the "domain\user" syntax to log in, creates a lot of confusion.

Since there are actually three different french layouts in Canada, we need a map for all of them.
