Summary: Keys \ and | translated into w and k with fr-be keyboard

Initial Comment:
CPU: Intel Centrino (Core2) Duo (64bit)

Guest: Any Linux distro (Windows untested)

Hello.

I have a Belgian-French keyboard layout and when I run qemu (I'm using arguments -k fr-be) two keys are translated incorrectly inside Linux virtual machines; key '|' (altgr+é) displays a 'k' and key '\' (altgr+<) displays a 'w'.

Here are the corresponding key layouts:

Alpha keyboard 2: Shift+2, 'é', Altgr+@
Alpha keyboard <: Shift+>, '<', Altgr+\

Only the symbols usually gotten with Altgr display the wrong symbols in the virtual machine. They display the correct symbol in the monitor screen.

The problem is reproducible in Qemu-0.9.0 as well as in any version of KVM.
