Ok, so i'll go on . . .  :) Actually, i'm trying to "parallel" the -
running - Debian wheezy + LXDE with the Lubuntu 12.04 setup i recently
installed. And there will rise a lot of questions (and bugs?) . . .

Just to start: In my repositories i've Debian Multimedia. Is there
something similar in (L)Ubuntu or could i add that repositories (even
though they're close, i notice there are some differences between Ubuntu
and Debian . . .

Then: I've this ugly 3rd level chooser problem. For typing normally, i
found the solution (`sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` >
Keyboard: Apple-Laptop > German > Deadkeys > 3rd level chooser: standard
(=left ALT) and then i opted for CTRL-ALT_BCKSP to kill X11), but this
solution cancels the CTRL-ALT-F1 (through F6) for consoles and the related
CTRL-ALT-F7 to return to the desktop (1). Is there out there someone who
knows a workaround?

----

1) With the standard setting: German - Macintosh keyboard (with deadkeys)
that problem does not exist, CTRL-ALT-F1 works as it should - but i don't
have third level keys like @, €, ~, square brackets etc. I remember, long
time ago, when Ubuntu still supported powerpc architecture officially that
problem (in Gnome) did not exist.
