Public bug reported:

I am running the 12.04 beta, 2012-04-12 daily, i386, from a DVD. I have
3 different keyboard layouts loaded in the keyboard layout selector: US,
ES (LATAM), and Maori.  With ES selected, and the AltGr key depressed,
my top QWERTY row should look like this

   @ł€¶ŧ←↓→øþ

But if I do this in the gnome-terminal, I get

   �������������

If I then remove Maori from the list, and continue with the ES (LATAM)
layout, I get the proper characters on the screen.

See bug #929054 for an earlier report on the xfce4-terminal in Xubuntu
12.04 beta, on the same amd64 machine.

This does not happen with the KDE terminal program in Kubuntu 12.04
beta. Also it does not happen in Debian 6 with a similar combination of
keyboard layouts, including Maori. Debian has a somewhat different
selection of layouts available, but it does have the ones I tested on
this machine. Also it has a somewhat older version of gnome-terminal.

I filed this separate bug report to emphasise that this happens with
gnome-terminal, and still happens as of today's build, with no problems
arising from multiple updates to the installation on this computer.
