I have the same problem in karmic. Also in xscreensaver where I come from. I run fvwm not gnome. Behind the password field I see a "GBr" which I can change to "??" I think this is the keyboard level. Yes I try both. If I switch to "??" and kill the screensaver the xterm left the way the AltGr key is pressed continous. I have this .xmodmap on a GB keyboard
