Cristi, the situation regarding UTF-8 support is quite good in Linux.
Most modern graphical apps have no problems. However, there are still
console apps in use which do not support UTF-8 and maybe some ancient
GTK+ 1.x packages. I'm not sure about the Linux console though.

Jani, I'm not really sure what that xml file is used for. I certainly
haven't added the existing "std" and "winkeys" variants in it, they were
probably filled in by one of the maintainers. There also seem to be
plenty of variants in the symbols/* files that are not represented in
that file. Regarding apps that graphically expose existing xkb variants
to users, I know at least one case in which the GUI directly picks up
the variants from the symbols/* files, KDE's control center does that. I
will further investigate this issue and will probably report it in
xkeyboard-config bugzilla.

Mihai, I'm not sure what points you disagree on now. It may well not be
your fault, as this interface is not well suited for debates. However, I
cannot see the end of our contradiction regarding the "correctness" of
the diacritics in the RO xkeyboard-config file.

The general discussions over diacritics, layouts, UTF-8, xkeyboard-
config etc. should probably take place somewhere else, we shouldn't
pollute this bug report with endless debates. I would suggest the
"Diacritice" mailing list, a place for people interested in Romanian
localization of free software to discuss general localization issues:
http://groups.google.ro/group/diacritice . That should also ease the
communication as it is throughly suited for discussions.
