Character "~" can't be typed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On my system, I usually insert the ~ character by typing twice on <alt>+n. This 
doesn't work in the status area.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type <alt>+n twice in the status field

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I should see the ~ character inserted but nothing happend. Though I can copy 
the character from an other source and paste it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
what Desktop Environment?
Gnome 2.30 on debian unstable with hotot compiled around April 15th 2011 (in 
several months of usage and previous versions of gnome, it never worked).

Hi there,
can you tell me what keyboard layout do you use?

Hello,

I'm using the "France Apple-macintosh" layout (selected in the keyboard gnome 
properties). It's ok with the France standard layout.

Hi, try <Left Alt>+<Right Alt>+<N>. It's not a hotot bug. 

I test it in Gnome 2, in gnome 2 keyboard layout, if i choose "France 
Macintosh", I should use <Left Alt>+<Right Alt>+<N> to type '~'. because <Right 
Alt> is the ISO_ALT_KEY

It doesn't work either. It's maybe a gnome bug, related to my apple hardware.

What is strange is that only with hotot that doesn't work. Regardless, it's not 
very important, thank you anyway.
