Hello to all again,
thanks to the TigerVNC-developers!
The newest version
git://github.com/svn2github/tigervnc.git
solves this really annoying bug with the AltGr-Key in the TigerVNC-server.
It was not trivial to compile it (OpenSuSE12.3) as the make failed with an
error due to
vncExtInit.cc: In function 'int ProcVncExtApproveConnect(ClientPtr)':
vncExtInit.cc:1071:48: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size
[-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
cc1plus: some warnings being treated as errors
but which can be solved by removing "-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast" from the
Makefile.
