I'm using Microsoft's RDP client for logging in on my VBox Ubuntu that is running with VBoxHeadless. This works fine except that the #@ key does not seem to be recognized. Even the xev utility doesn't detect the keystroke.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I'd greatly appreciate your help!

FYI: I have a MacBook Pro (model 5,5) with a Belgian AZERTY keyboard.

Note: The #@ key is the one below the escape button in this picture:
