I can perform such a testing - in theory. But in practice, I was never able to figure out this -k $lang stuff, -- neither in qemu nor in other apps like rdesktop and the like. What I usually do is to explicitly set en-us keyboard for applications that are "too smart" and tries to guess "right" keyboard from env. variables such as $LANG. The reason is that after specifying "ru" keyboard, I can't use latin chars anymore, and can type only using cyrillic. Since cyrillic layout does not have any latin char, imagine how to type, say, a path name (even "C:" drive in windows). All modern OSes nowadays have a way to switch between keyboard layouts dynamically - this is done internally in the operating system. So, basically, I've no idea what this -k $foo stuff is used for to start with ;) Care to explain please? Oleg? :) Thanks! /mjt
