Define a foreign language keyboard in HP-Ux CDE, with the AltGrkey?

[Hans Dekker]

It is true what Franz says: applying another X-Window System Package 
maps the right keyboard (Spanish in my case).

So, by logical thinking you may say that Xfree86 somehow gives a 
keyboard mapping to CDE that is different from what it should be.

Unfortunately my time right now is restricted on the subject. Some time 
later I could dive into the problem and possibly the source code, so any 
comments that can help are welcome. There must be something simple I 
guess, because German keyboards (and other non-US keyboards) will suffer 
from the same problem.

Thanks, Hans.
