Why the Enter key in a Mac keyboard is mapped to Level?

Just installing Ubuntu for the first time, glad to ditch Win 7. I have a KVM switch and also a Mac, hence I'm using a Mac keyboard (the full size alu one)

Main problem is the Enter key on the keypad doesn't work. I checked the keyboard layout (set to 'English UK Macintosh')... inspecting the layout the Enter key is mapped to something called 'Level' - WTF is 'Level'?

Everything else about the keyboard works great ie the £ $ # @ " are all perfect, volume control works as expected... why this weird key mapping on the Enter key?

More importantly... how do I change it to work as an Enter key ?

Ok the following seems to have fixed it permanently for me:

> /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 104 = KP_Enter'
> xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap

I shouldn't have to do this, someone please fix the English (UK, Macintosh) keyboard layout (for full-size aluminium Mac keyboard) that comes with Ubuntu 12 and save others this annoyance...
