Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

The "key to choose 3rd level" function does not work with all applications on my 
Macbook Pro.  I can create a "@" if I press the "Left Win + L" in gnome-terminal 
but it does not work in firefox/evolution/gedit.

xev tells me:

-------------------------------
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
    root 0x77, subw 0x0, time 6157726, (-178,240), root:(455,614),
    state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 92
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
    root 0x77, subw 0x0, time 6159254, (-178,240), root:(455,614),
    state 0xc0, keycode 46 (keysym 0x40, at), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (40) "@"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (40) "@"
    XFilterEvent returns: False
----------------------------

That looks good ... everything ok ... but only for gnome-terminal.
Other Gnome applications do not recognize this combination.


My keyboard configuration:

---------------------------
rschmitt@macbook:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "de", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "apple_laptop", "de", "mac", "lv3:lwin_switch"

rschmitt@macbook:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [de    mac]
 options = [lv3    lv3:lwin_switch]
 model = apple_laptop
