I tried the Canadian French layout, and everything seems to work
correctly. Among other things, the AltGr key (aka ISO_Level3_Shift) is
finally at the right place.
One small nit would be to change the shorthand string (that is used by
the gnome keyboard applet, etc. to indicate the current keyboard) from
"ca" to something a bit more descriptive (like "fr_ca") for the French
Canadian keyboard layout.
I tested gnome-keyboard-properties and under the Canadian menu, there
are four variants: French, French (legacy), Multilingual and
Multilingual 2nd part. Where is "ca" displayed?
I do not know GNOME, do not hesitate to send lengthy explanations ;)
First this is under Gnome 2.6 or 2.8. Earlier versions used a different
applet for the keyboard switching. Not sure how to make a lenghty
explanation of it, though. When you add the keyboard switching applet on
a panel, it displays (on the panel) a letter code to indicate the
current keyboard. For the US English keyboard it's "us". For the Spanish
keyboard it's "es". And for the French Canadian keyboard it's (right
now) "ca".
Don't hesitate to ask again if the explanation is not long enough. :-)
