Bug Description
Affects Kubuntu 6.10
On the German standard keyboard layout (de_DE), the eszett (ß) and the question mark (?) share the same key. In German the eszett (?) is needed often to replace the letters ss, so its reachable unshifted for a good reason. The question mark (?) can be typed by pressing shift+eszett.
On the German dvorak layout provided by Kubuntu, the eszett (ß) and question mark (?) share also the same key, but are exchanged, so you are required to press shift+question-mark to get an eszett. This is annoying, because there seems to be no reason for this. All other keys retain their assignment and are only moved around (similiar to ANSI Dvorak vs. en_US).
