Sorry for the late response. You were simply to fast in responding - I will try
to clear up the report and fill it with details:


##########################################################
Ubuntu:

$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(deadgraveacute)+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

Behaviour:
"é" is working
ALT is on Alt
€ and @ are on right-Alt-E and right-Alt-Q
{[]} are on right-Alt-(7890)
(^°) and (<>) are exchanged, that is <WRONG> as well.

##########################################################
openSuse:

First:
During installation it was not recognized by the setup application that the
package "pbbuttonsd" must be installed. After installing this, the problems
were greatly reduced!!! I believe, this is where Ubuntu passes openSuse.

##########################################################
Second (openSuse)

setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(deadgraveacute)+inet(logitech_g15)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
Using this I have the following situations:
ALT is on Alt
"é" is working.
€ and @ are on right-Alt-E and right-Alt-Q
{[]} are on right-Alt-(7890)
(^°) and (<>) are exchanged, that is <WRONG> as well.

##########################################################

It would be good to have ALT on Cmd
€ and @ may be on right-Cmd-E and right-Cmd-Q or on Alt-E/Alt-L (latter is
better)
Also the brackets {[]} could be Apple-like (Alt-7890), the same goes for "~|"
etc.

The problem not having ALT on Cmd is 1st, that I am not accustomed to this (but
one can get used to it) and 2nd and more importantly: consistently. When
switchign from X to shell #2 I have to press Ctrl+Alt+2, when switching from
any text shell I have to press Ctrl+Cmd+2.

##########################################################

3rd: (openSuse)

setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(nodeadkeys)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

The same as case 2, but nodeadkeys

##########################################################

4th: openSuse

setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "macintosh+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete+numpad(mac)" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+macintosh_vndr/de(nodeadkeys)+altwin(swap_lalt_lwin)+level3(alt_switch)+inet(apple)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "macintosh(macintosh)" };
};

ALT is on Cmd -> good
"é" is NOT working -> nodeadkeys
€ and @ are on Alt-E and Alt-L -> Mac-like good
{[]}~| are Mac-like -> good
(^°) and (<>) are exchanged, that is <WRONG> as well.

##########################################################

4th: openSuse

setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "macintosh+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete+numpad(mac)" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+macintosh_vndr/de(deadgraveacute)+altwin(swap_lalt_lwin)+level3(alt_switch)+inet(apple)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "macintosh(macintosh)" };
};

ALMOST NOTHING WORKS!!!

ALT is on Alt; but I can not switch to a text shell anymore by either
Ctrl+Alt+2 or Ctrl+Cmd+2!!!!
"'e" is NOT working -> WRONG (deadgraveacute)
€ and @ are NOT working (neither on Alt+L, Cmd+L, Alt+Q, Cmd+Q, Right-Cmd+Q,
Right-Cmd+Q)
{[]}~| are NOT working
(^°) and (<>) are exchanged, that is <WRONG> as well.
