I found a solution which might be useful for someone other using a Mac
with a non-standard keyboard too (?):
Searching the web i found this description which is very similar to my
problem:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/125577/caps-lock-doesnt-take-effect-on-all-letters
I applied the solution proposed for Jessie in the answer. The keyboard
map was taken from here:
http://www.seehuhn.de/pages/powerbook#keyboard
(IMHO a very useful site for linux users on a mac). Precisily i took the
"Xorg server key bindings for British, French (thanks, Yves-Alexis
Perez) and German keyboards, using the XKB extension"
Then i put the de.xkb file in the right place
/etc/X11/xkb/de.xkb
and added the statement to /etc/rc.local
loadkeys /etc/X11/xkb/de.xkb
Works like a charm (with some minor drawbacks: Alt is used, maclike as
3rd level chooser, which blocks e.g. <ALT><F2> from working like
expected; i remapped that in the wm shortkey configurations to
<CTRL><ALT><F2>. The special keys are mapped to the pc like position;
e.g. "@" is not on <ALT>L but on <ALT>Q. Not that much of a problem,
though ;) )!
Sorry for having you disturbed. And cheers!
