The problem I was having with AltGr on a swedish keyboard layout and
DECterminal has finally found a workaround.
I received a hint, (described below) that if I'd disabled the XKB
extenstion in XFree86 and went for the good ol' 'xmodmap' keymap
loading, I managed to have a workaround.
But other people seem to have similar problems regarding
AltGr-key-combination with foreign keyboard layouts...
I tried mount the /tmp in binmode without success. My '/' was already
mounted in binmode and the '/' contained a directory called 'tmp' which
must have been treated same way as '/tmp' mounted in binmode.
