Users of other window managers can use setxkbmap or the KDE keyboard switching applet or another xkb keyboard switcher. An apt-cache search gives as possibilities (untested by me):
xkbsel - Tool for defining, selecting, and indicating XKB keyboards. xkeysw - A keyboard layout switch for the X Window System xruskb - An X localized keyboard switch and autolock xxkb - Keyboard state indicator and switcher for xkb kkbswitch - keyboard layout indicator for KDE This does not remove from the fact that this is a genuine bug, but at least non-Gnome users are not completely stuck. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
