Bug#500021: Also suffering from the issue

Hi,

the issue appeared after upgrading to Lenny, but might not be related
to the sole upgrade (not sure it happened immediately afterwards, as
it's been several months).

What I can add to the symptoms is that keys get "mapped" differently.
"AltGr" acts as "return", the arrows, pgup/down don't trigger
anything, ... Very pesky. I think it mostly happens when I launch a
new Gnome Terminal process.

Whether in normal operation mode or in the above case, the commands
mentioned in this bug report yield:
gisquet at cuba #11:23:51# #~/src
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = []
 options = []
 model = dellm65
gisquet at cuba #11:23:52# #~/src
$ xprop -root|grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "a4techKB21", "fr", "",
"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "dellm65", "fr", "",
"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

I don't know how to produce the above list of installed packages.
Although my install is up-to-date as of the writing of the mail, as I
used external apt sources and pinning in the past (no obvious trace of
them in the system), I'd feel safer to provide such a list.
