Searching the web I could find other people with the same problem, but sadly no solution.  Until today!

I stumbled across this blog entry on Synergy Problems and Workarounds and I now have the ‘@’ symbol back on my laptop when using Synergy!

The solution is very simple, in a terminal window type the following:-

echo keycode 24 = q Q at at at at | xmodmap -

Brilliant, thanks to Delta Nova!
