Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

First of all, I've seen lots of similar bug reports, but none exactly
like this, so I am reporting as new.

OBSERVATION / REPRODUCTION:

This is from a fresh Karmic alternate install:

I have a German keyboard, which uses AltGr (right Alt key) to access various "unusual" characters, e.g. @,},\ etc.
It was (correctly) determined by the installer to be of layout de-nodeadkeys.

Unfortunately, in GNOME, those third-level keys don't work after booting.
Instead, the system acts as if I hadn't pressed AltGr and returns, e.g., "q" instead of "@"

Once I select a (any) different keyboard model in the  GNOME keyboard
settings dialog, the keys work - until I reboot or choose a different
keyboard layout. Then I will again have to select any keyboard model to
get things back to normal.

EXPECTATION:

The keyboard should work correctly out of the box, as it always has
before, and *remain* working.

Regards,
Luca
