I actually meant that the keyboard setting are no longer specified in it, rather than the name change. I now see that the options are still available - perhaps I was confused by the man page, which doesn't mention them explicitly. > What kind of strange keymappings do you get?

Wonderful! "setxkbmap gb" did exactly what I wanted :) Now, is there a "correct" place to put this command (for system-wide use), rather than in my .profile? Thanks again. cheers, C.
