thanks, closing the bug, there is a new issue with gdm so you don't especially need to confirm that it's the case, that's another bug
** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575305 Title: altgr does not work if automatically logged in Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gdm I had automatic login enabled in 9.10 and then upgraded to 10.04. After that the altgr key does not work (even after trying different keyboard layouts in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard). I can, however, get it to work in two ways: 1) If I log out and log in again altgr works. 2) If I disable automatic login altgr works. I have a swedish keyboard (Logitech Ultra-Flat), with the usual Swedish-Swedish layout (as indicated above I have the same problem with different layouts) I'm not sure this is a gdm problem, but that would be my guess. Attached (xev.txt) is the output in xev when hitting altgr. If I can provide any further information or be of any help I'd be very happy.
