Bug Description
After updating a fully functional (That is no problems to report) Ubuntu 6.10 to Ubuntu 7.04, I found that when I want to use X11 remotely from my Macbook Pro with Spanish keyboard (Using Apple's X11) the keymaps are broken, and it's impossible to type anything. This happens when using Xnest or using nxserve to access gnome.
I beleive the problem is in gnome, because if I launch xterm or gedit from the remote ssh shell, they keyboard map is fine (Or at least workable, there is is still and issue with Alt-Gr and gedit). When I launch Xnest my keyboard works fine in order to enter my password and loging using XDMCP, but once in Gnome it stops working.
I have been able to get something half-working. By doing 'xmodmap -pke > map' on the shell and then 'xmodmap map' once in a Gnome session.
As I said this was working well out of the box in 6.10, so I am assuming so change done in Feisty has broken this.
