Summary: IT Keyboard layout is lost after some typing

Initial Comment:
I noticed that after some combination of keys pressed, the accents does not print anymore. After many tries I'm not able to tell what is the combination that cause this problem.

The effect is that è becomes e, à becomes a , etc...

Restarting rdesktop is the only way to fix this.

My specs : 
Local System : Xubuntu 9.04
Remote System : windows 2003 server
Keyboard Layout : IT
Rdesktop : 1.6.0

Message:
UPDATE : i think i found the way to reproduce problem (probably is linked
with the numeric pad issue) :

press 'à' 
press CAPS LOCK 
press 'à' will result in 'A' char as output
press a number from numeric keypad (num lock inserted)
press 'à' will result in 'a' char (without accent)

So the state of the keyboard is strange, because it seems returned to
lower case mode, but accents are gone.

Pressing CAPS LOCK again is solving the problem, but now i have accents
and capital letters at the same time, and this is very bad. 

Workaround to fix the problem completely is to use numeric keypad again ,
to have another inversion of status changes (lower letters and accents
activated).
