Description
Steps to reproduce:
0) Use finnish keyboard layout
1) xpra start --no-daemon --start-child gnome-terminal --exit-with-children :7 -d all
2) xpra attach ssh:lindi1:7
3) hold altgr down
4) hit <
5) release altgr
Expected results:
5) gnome-terminal shows the pipe symbol
Actual results:
5) gnome-terminal shows some weird unicode character that resembles "i".

Just for completeness I ran the client with "-d all" as well and used altgr:

r122 restores the code which guesses the keyboard layout when "setxkbmap -query" cannot be used.

Nothing really worked correctly out of the box IIRC. With r71 running
setxkbmap -print | (unset XAUTHORITY; DISPLAY=:7 ssh lindi1 xkbcomp - :7)
manually works.

Replying to lindi:

r72 does exactly that (implemented it after we discussed this on IRC). r88 adds better support for level (shift/caps)
r117 should not make much of a difference and r120 is the one that removes the layout guessing, which is restored in r122.
So I would have expected r88 or r117 to work in your case. If they do not, then I am stumped!

r127 ensures that the new keymap is applied whenever the user changes the keyboard mapping (no need to re-connect)
r128 brings raw keycode support: if available on the server (we check the remote version), then we send this hardware_keycode (along with some other attributes which are also available and may be useful in the future - they are cheap to send, but changing the protocol is not)
This seems to work very well here, I can even print some unusual characters which I found on the Finish keyboard map picture, like these ones:
ø¡”»«“„<>°¿
The strange thing is that I can't seem to produce them in my regular (not through xpra) terminal session and browser.. no idea why.
Some useful pointers:
- gtk.gdk.Keymap
- gtk.gdk.KEY_PRESS
- Modifierkey and what are the-meta super and hyper keys were useful for figuring out which modifier to use for "group" in fallback mode (was hardcoded to 0 previously)
Hopefully this fixes your problem without making anything worse, or breaking someone else's layout like previous releases have done...
I am particularly interested in test reports on systems with old versions of setxkbmap (those which are unable to use setxkbmap -query), as we may have to use fallback mode for those if the keymap is not applied properly.

Just for reference. The finnish keyboard layout:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_Finnish_Multilingual.svg
It seems that if I use the left GUI key (aka "Windows key") instead of altgr I can produce the pipe symbol:
