Using xmodmap was where it went wrong. I call it from my .xinitrc, and
when I comment it out and log in to X again, the 3rd level shift chars
work fine. Calling xmodmap manually from a terminal at that point sets
my desired keyswapping, *without* breaking the 3rd level shift chars.

Can anyone shed a light on this one?
