Description Tiziano Müller 2013-05-15 09:13:02 UTC 
Using virt-viewer-0.5.6.exe we can confirm that the basic keyboard layout issues from 0.5.4/0.5.5 is solved. Although AltGr key kombinations are (still) broken:

* VM OS: Gentoo Linux, Fedora or Windows
* Client OS: Windows XP, Windows 7
* Keyboard Layout: Swiss German
* Key combination example: "AltGr+2" which should produce a "@" but instead produces nothing
