rdesktop - use with german keyboard

Did anybody use the ‘rdesktop’ with a german keyboard emulation already?
Or other keyboards? (I tried french as well)

I only get the ‘base’ charactes (all letters and numbers), most of the
‘shifted’ special character, such as ‘!"§$’ etc are on there
‘original’ places, as on an american keyboard.

Is this an XPhoton keymap issue or can I do smething about it
with the ‘rdesktop’ keyboard mapping?

I am forced to use virtual keyboard in Windows. In my case Polish QNX

keyboard is not Polish programmers keyboard what is a standard in
Windows and Linux.
