Interesting.

The following is my application: ,----[ XF86Config-4 ] | Section "InputDevice" | Identifier "Generic Keyboard" | Driver "keyboard" | Option "CoreKeyboard" | Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" | Option "XkbModel" "macintosh" | Option "XkbLayout" "de" | Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" | Option "XkbOptions" "grp:win_switch" | EndSection `---- BTW I had to tweak it with gnome-keyboard-properties to make it work with Gnome, too. All the best, Nikolaus
