I want to point out that I have two independent computers here: 1) laptop - uses gdm to start xfce4 2) server - has no gdm installed and I launch xfce4 manually (startx) Both are experiencing the same issue. I am willing to debug further. However, it has been more than a month and I forgot some of the internals I saw in the keyboard plugin. Would it help if I post here the exact mechanism how the plugin gets the keyboard layout information from X? Maybe somebody w/ better knowledge of X could direct us. Cheers, Jan
