Ok, but that's rather a workaround then a solution. I somehow like WYSIWYG
keyboards. Emacs is so old, there should be a way to solve that problem.

Or isn't it a problem of emacs? I found that on
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2004-10/msg00150.html

 If Emacs (nearly all version from last years) is compiled with xorg-x11
 and it is used with European keyboard with AltGr key, pressing AltGr
 beeps and breaks i-searches.
 
 Bug is not in Emacs, but in X:
 http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1625
 
 But Emacs can include simple work-around:

What does it mean? Somehow change src/xterm.h, I guess.

Thanks
