I don't know whether things are related or not -- ever since I started
experimenting with the FP login, my system is deteriorating: first that odd
error message on boot, and today I lost the ability to switch keyboard layouts
(between English and Hebrew).

I think I will have to reinstall my system from scratch -- a fresh
installation. 

Any thoughts?
