Err, no, it has an entry in the nl part that includes the american layout. > In that case there really _should_ be a "Netherlands - Dvorak" layout as > well. If someone could implement the dutch dvorak, sure. Remember that dvorak is per-language. You can always use the english dvorak for Dutch, but that's not efficient. > What could possibly work is some ability to define cheap symlinks, but > duplicating entire layouts really is insane (IMHO). xkb uses cheap symlinks.

AGAIN, don't make me say what I didn't say, or ask for better wording. I meant that they didn't care about accents before having to write their PhD.
