AltGr doesn't produce @|{[]}\~

AltGr doesn't produce @|{[]}\~

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi list

My AltGr-Key doesn't produce the following chars @|{[]}\~ anymore under X. This
is on a german keyboard (Toshiba Laptop - Tecra) after an upgrade to the
latest bash, XWin, coreutils and a rebaseall afterwards.

Everything is fine in a non-X bash window.

Any ideas how to debug this.


Here my XWin.log:
