[gentoo-dev] Disfunctional AltGr on german keyboard, Kups crashes ?!

[Robert Schrem]

My Gentoo system is getting better and better...
But: I've got still a localisation problem I can't 
solve due to lack of deep knowlege on X-Windows:

I tried to bend gentoo-1.0-rc3 to work probably
with german keyboard. In /etc/rc.d/configure/basic 
I applyed the folowing edits:

KEYMEP="de-latin1-nodeadkeys"

And somewhere else I changed en_US to
de_DE (don't remember the place, it was somewhere
pretty obious). After a reboot my keyboard worked
just like it should - except in X-Windows.

After doing

localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE

it went better, the letters öäüÖÄÜß are working
now (as you can see!). But all letters that I can
only reach by using the AltGr key shift are still
disfuctional (for now I'm doomed to copy paste
letters like @ one by one - pretty ugly. hmmm)

Can anybody give me some hints?

PS: Is it only me that suffers from the regulary 
crashing Kups program to set up CUPS?

Seem like you are the only one, I use localhost:623 for that :-)
I updated qtcups and kups today, give em a try.
