A patch to fix the problem

Bug description and solution:
In some cases it was not possible to write Latvian accented characters. For
example, when saving html pages from Firefox, it was not possible to enter
accented characters in filename, or to make
a new folder (from Firefox save menu) with accented Latvian characters. It was
also not possible to enter accented characters in Inkscape. Combinations like
Ctrl+Alt+F1 was not working, eather.

Solution (a very simple one). Problem was with RALT modifier key. I replaced
this with include from level3 file:
include "level3(ralt_switch)"

This part of file gets included:
default partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "ralt_switch" {
  key <RALT> {
    type[Group1]="ONE_LEVEL",
    symbols[Group1] = [ ISO_Level3_Shift ]
    };
  modifier_map Mod5   { ISO_Level3_Shift };
};

After the fix it is possible to enter latvian accented characters also
in Inkscape and all other mentioned places, combinations like
Ctrl+Alt+F1 are working as well.
