xserv 4.3.0-29 Alt Gr Problem is gone

[Hans Dekker]

Sorry, setxkbmap doesn't work, not even in the xterm that is started by 
cygwin itself using startxwin.bat.

Defining keys with xmodmap by hand works and xmodmap -pk gives you than 
the output with the third definition (= AltGr definition) of a key.

What should I do with the cygwin X-window system to get it running well?

Regards, H.
