Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
Ubuntu 7.04.
Go to "System --> Preferences --> Keyboard".
"Keyboard mode" is "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC".
Two different keyboard layouts defined: "U.S. English" and "Italy".
"Separate group for each window" unchecked.
Select "Layout options" tab and check "NumLock LED shows alternative group" under the "Use keyboard LED to show alternative group" section.
At this point, Italian keyboard mapping is wrong since:
(1) key '-' is mapped as '/'
(2) key 'm' mapping is wrong
Using xev to check 'm' key mapping returns the following messages
-----[BEGIN]-----
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
