Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
Because of a limitation in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), Fedora,
Linux, and Solaris clients receive an invalid response from Alt Gr on UK
English and US International language keyboards. Fedora, Linux, and
Solaris do not pick up events for the Alt Gr key combination for Java
1.4.2 or 1.5. Java 1.6 appears to improve on this, although the keyPressed
and keyReleased events for Alt Gr still identify it as an “unknown key
code”.
Also, a key pressed in combination with Alt Gr (such as on the UK
keyboard Alt Gr-4), which is the Euro symbol), will only generate a
keyTyped followed by a keyReleased event for that value, without a
keyPressed event. Java 1.6 improves upon this by filling in the
keyPressed event as well.
Keyboard Language Preference (Fedora Linux Clients)
There are several methods that can be used to set the keyboard language
preference on Fedora Linux clients. The following method must be used
in order for the keys to be mapped correctly from the Virtual KVM
Client and the Multi-Platform Client (MPC).

To set the keyboard language:
1. From the toolbar, select System > Preferences > Keyboard.
2. Open the Layouts tab.
3. Add or select the appropriate language.
4. Click Close.
Note: Other methods will not necessarily yield correct results.
