Bug Description
[Impact]
Danish Dvorak keyboard layout is just a copy of Norwegian Dvorak created by including the xkb definition for Norwegian Dvorak in the Danish Dvorak section. Apparently Norwegian Dvorak was changed in 12.04 to no longer have the tilde key in the same place. It was correctly placed in 11.10. This is easily fixed by adding the AD12-key from Norwegian Dvorak in 11.10 to the right section in Danish Dvorak in 12.04. This change goes into /usr/share/
[Test Case]
1. Set the Danish Dvorak keyboard layout
2. Hit the tilde key (between the ' key and the return key on danish keyboards, or the ] key on us keyboards)
3. Hit the tilde key + shift
Broken Behavior: <nothing printed>
Fixed Behavior: ~ ^
[Regression Potential]
The patch only changes the Danish Dvorak keyboard layout for the AC12, so the scope of regression risk is limited to that key for those users.

It should also be noted that when you choose to view the keyboard layout through the system settings, the tilde key for Danish Dvorak is shown as being where it has always been.
