After looking further here it seems that the value of KDEKEYBOARD and KDEKEYBOARDS is used by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession to write the keymaps for kde (each time you start X. BTW: if you kill X with ctrl-alt-Backspace knoppix won't shut down. You can also always run a second X server) So the value of "il" for KDEKEYBOARD and "en,fr,de" for KDEKEYBOARDS" will leave you covered. Though I figure that others would have selected a saner value for KDEKEYBOARDS (maybe make the English the default, and maybe use only Hebrew-English). > > XKEYBOARD should definetly have the value "us,il".
