This is the stumbling block on the road to complete cross-platform compatibility.

Whackypedia has a marvellously confusing article about it:

Thanks Richmond.... more than I ever wanted to know about the 'Alt Gr' key... infact, I think I'm beginning to feel quite jaundiced towards the 'Alt Gr' key, especially as it seems to be overshadowing the much nicer and useful (in my case) 'Alt' key......!

LC for Windows running in WINE returns this:

ALT: 65513

ALT GR: 65513

to yourself 108 times: it will do b*gger all for your soul, but . . .)
