All you Boot Camp users out there might know this already -- you can emulate the AltGr key with Control-Alt.

But today I installed the new Boot Camp 1.1 Beta, and a fresh windows XP Pro ... and found that the AltGr emulation function was gone. After some looking around, I found the solution in Control Panels -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages tab -> Details button. In there was a keyboard layout called german(apple). After I installed the default German keyboard, the problem went away. I can now emulate the AltGr key again, and even the new "right Command key as right-click" option works.
