Regarding: Xlib-Problem with Keyboard-Input: AltGr has no effect after XRebindKeysym

------------------------------------------------------------
XFree86 Version: 4.2.0

OS: Linux 2.4.18-4GB (SuSE 8.0)

Area: Xlib

Server: not server related

Description:

If a program uses XRebindKeysym to map some keys to other characters, XLookupString 
doesn't seem to honor the state of the
"mode_switch" key - AltGr on German keyboards - regardless of which key was mapped. 
You get the character you would normally get without the "mode_switch" key.

Repeat By:

Insert this line in the xev program:

XRebindKeysym (dpy, /*XK_KP_Insert*/ 0xFF9E, NULL, 0, "pipapo", 6);

e.g. directly behind the XOpenDisplay in main.
Now try getting a character with AltGr in xev. Doesn't work, you get the wrong one. 
Older X versions (3.3.6) work.
