It wasn't only me mentioning that on the channel, sorry. And to be honest, I don't see any difference in the keyboard layout on my German PowreBook G4 to a regular PC-keyboard? Or do you mean that XkbModel macintosh would behave more like on MacOS and have the @ on alt-l? If it's the latter I am very happy to /not/ use that ... Just gave it a try with the keyboard switch applet from gnome - and it indeed is that horror. Sorry, I simply can't recommend using the macintosh XkbModel to anyone, alt-5 and alt-6 for [] and alt-l for @ is not convenient, at least not to me. Not even remotely. It's hard to remember the differences between english and german layout at times when you are abroad already. So long, Rhonda Btw., please refrain from Ccing me offlist, I read the lists I post to unless I mention otherwise, thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
