Bug Description

Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 5 / MacBook 13" Finnish/Swedish model.

After install Macbook/Macbook pro keyboard layout is not detected. You need to set it manually in Gnome settings.

The "Third Lever Chooser" setting in Keyboard preferences > Layout options is wrong. It's "Use right ALT for Third Lever Chooser." MacBooks have only left alt. You need to set it to "Use any alt for Third Lever Chooser".

You ought to use the ENTER key (the small one second right to the space bar) as AltGr/Command.
