Comment 4 for bug 290473

The situation improved (tested with Karmic Koala Alpha 5). However, it is far from perfect. Hence, this bug is not fixed.

This is what improved:
* "Pressing only 1 key" works, but there is an important remark to make (*).
* "Pressing shift and key" works, but there is an important remark to make (*).
* CD-ROM eject button works, but there is an important remark to make (*).

(*) Ubuntu fails to set the keyboard layout automatically. Also, the above solution only works when *manually* (usability issue) selecting the "French Macintosh" keyboard layout and keyboard type in System/Preferences/Keyboard. AFAICS this layout is 100% similar as the Belgian Macintosh layout...however that one is not listed (usability issue!)

Suggested fix:
1) Copy the "French Macintosh" keyboard layout to "Belgian Macintosh". (*easy* usability improvement for Belgian users with a Macintosh keyboard)
2) Automatically set the right keyboard and keyboard layout if a Macintosh keyboard is detected (usability improvement for all owners of a Macintosh keyboard)
3) Fix the remaining issues of the original report. In particular a solution for entering a pipe would be a very welcome usability improvement for command line users and programmers.
