the question is, which should be the key to "mode switch" / "altgr" in
your configuration? the apple (lwin) key?

actually, i cannot find the file "switch" in my current installation. well, i
do not know if such a file _should_ exist, anyway. :)
so i have to map LWIN to do Mode_switch (and Multi_key when shifted)) in the
file "gb" directly to make it work.
which package should "switch" be in? i am currently with many xfree packages
from testing (dfsg.1-1) and the following from unstable (dfsg.1-4):
x-window-system, x-window-system-core, xbase-clients, xfree86-common,
xlibs, xlibs-data, xterm, xutils.
thanks,
sebastian
