Problem description

Mandriva Linux 2008.1 introduced an improved Finnish default keyboard
layout called Kotoistus. This layout adds altgr-space as a key
combination for non-breaking space. However, that key combination can
be easily hit accidentally when a normal space was intended instead,
especially after typing the pipe character. This update removes the
new key combination. Non-breaking space can still be typed via the
traditional combination altgr-shift-space.
