	Well I'm afraid I'm not an expert on key bindings; however I
traced the problem thus:

[michael inspiron evolution]$ cat > a.c
#include <gtk/gtk.h>  

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
	char *strs [] = { "]", "a", "Z", "=", "-", "?", "@" };
	int i;
	  
	for (i=0;i<7;i++) {
		printf ("'%s' -> '%s' %d\n", strs [i],
			gdk_keyval_name (strs [i] [0]),
			gdk_keyval_from_name (strs [i]));
	}
}
[michael inspiron evolution]$ sync
[michael inspiron evolution]$ gcc `gnome-config --cflags gtk` \
`gnome-config --libs gtk` ./a.c
[michael inspiron evolution]$ ./a.out 
']' -> 'bracketright' 0
'a' -> 'a' 97
'Z' -> 'Z' 90
'=' -> 'equal' 0
'-' -> 'minus' 0
'?' -> 'question' 0
'@' -> 'at' 0

	I hope this helps, if you could add a FAQ entry about this it
would help others in future perhaps.

	Regards,

		Michael.
