Hi, 
Either way, thank you for the swift replies. It is encouraging to see bugs are 
so quickly looked at on Ubuntu. 
Firstly, I just asked my gf (a german) how she writes the @ symbol. She used 
ctrl-alt-q.
Secondly, while I hate using this argument, and it is largely a stupid 
argument, ctrl-alt-q works fine on windows. 

Question: Did you mean 'Ctrl+AltGr+Q' ?? 
or did you mean 'AltGr+Q' ?

On my computer, 'Ctrl+Alt (the right alt) + Q '   causes the focused window, eg 
gedit, to quit.
On my computer, 'Alt (the right alt) + Q' gives me a  lower case 'q'. 

I did check my German keymap file at '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols' and, it looks 
to be 
like it should work:
    key <AD01> { [ udiaeresis, Udiaeresis, at ] };

Perhaps then, am I experiencing a symptom of a different exact bug,
namely, that my AltGr is missing?

Incidentally, the layout of my keyboard looks like this (lower row)

ctrl/Fn/Alt/Tilda/space bar/Ins/Del/Alt
