Typescript with commands to check XKB settings on german MacBook

On my german MacBook (2nd generation) I had encountered also a similar problem in F8 and F9 that <> and ^° keys are exchanged, as reported by jko in #8, but apparently this is fixed in F10 preview.

However, in F10 preview, the AltGr key (2nd key right to space) does no longer work with macbook79 german keyboard layout and therefore no characters like |,€,@, ~ can be typed in. Apparently because keycode 104 is mapped mistakenly to KP_Enter. I'have created a ~/.Xmodmap with the following line to fix the problem:

keycode 104 = ISO_Level3_Shift

This is working, but when logging in, a "Error activating XKB configuration" error dialog box is reported but this seems to be a false alarm.
Find attached the output of xprop, gconftool and "xkbcomp - :0"
