Comment(by sascha_silbe):

 Partial workaround
 [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Jhbuild#Run_Sugar posted on
 the wiki] now:


 > Note that due to a bug in Xephyr your keyboard might not work as
 expected. A partial workaround is to run setxkbmap <keymap name> in
 ~/.sugar/debug (this file will be created on first run of Sugar). Most
 "regular" keys should work fine after that, some "special keys" (e.g.
 cursor up/down) might still refuse to operate as intended.

 > The "keymap name" usually is a two letter country code, e.g. "de" for
 german or "fr" for french.
