I use a Lenovo T60 laptop with a German keyboard. At work, I attach an
external keyboard and monitor through a docking station.

Options I set in Keyboard Preferences --> Layout options work for the
internal keyboard, but not for the external one. I have set the layout
options so I can enter accented characters using key combos, so pressing
~ and then n results in ñ. This works with the internal keyboard, but
not with an external (USB) one. In the latter case, the ~ appears as
soon as I press the key. I can make it work if I go to Keyboard
Preferences, change something in Layout Options, then change it back to
what it was before, and click "Apply System-Wide".

I have tried using a "multi key", but the problem is exactly the same:
the multi key works with the internal keyboard, but not with the
external one until I do the change-something-in-layout-options-then-
change-it-back dance. "Keyboard model" is currently set to "Generic
105-key (Intl) PC", the (only) layout is "Germany". "Seperate layout for
each window" is not ticked.
