Title:
  rdesktop works bad with several keyboard layouts

Status in rdesktop package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rdesktop

  Many people have many errors while working with rdesktop on a remote host having two or more keyboard layouts.
  For example, russian letter 'Б' sometimes are recognized as if it was pressed with Alt. 
  Sometimes it works fine, sometimes symbols "." and "," do not work properly.

  One man founded a solution (raw keyboard support), it deskribed here:
  http://habrahabr.ru/blog/ubuntu/45595.html

  Alt Linux maintainers added patch to rdesktop, it's located here:
  http://sisyphus.ru/srpm/Sisyphus/rdesktop/patches

  After patch is applied, it is possible to use option '-y' to use raw
  keyboards. After that all problems with two or more keyboard layouts
  go away.

  Please include this patch while building this package.
