Public bug reported:

Upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 disabled on synergy-plus client many keys of my 
Belgian keyboard layout:
Synergy server: Ubuntu 9.10
Synergy client: Windows XP
Synergy-plus version: 1.3.4
I could move the mouse in Windows XP but Ctrl+Alt+Del did not work, neither did 
the SHIFT key work (so I could not type letters like "." "/" "+" on my Belgian 
keyboard).
I went back to version 1.3.3 but the problem remained.

I was quite disappointed about this which made Ubuntu 9.10 useless for me and I 
was preparing to go back to 9.04.
Luckily my co-worker looked at System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts and removed 
the layout "USA International (AltGr dead keys)" so only the layout "Belgium" 
remained.
Then immediately in synergy client Windows XP all keys of my Belgian layout 
started to work again (except the "~" does not work).

So two layouts in the Layouts list gives problems with synergy-plus
1.3.3 (I'm not going to test it with 1.3.4 as this has already taken to
much of my work time).

I also reported this at http://code.google.com/p/synergy-
plus/issues/detail?id=264 .
