"Problem" so far: I'm happy with what I have with the latest xkb-data here .. :) I always get either a wonderful, fully fledged PC style keyboard, but I never managed to get a, for me rather useless, Macintosh style keyboard, with a Kp_Enter key and so on ..

Don't use it, if you don't like it. With logics like this I could say: This is Linux. Go get OSX if you want an Apple keyboard. So I'd suggest we try to work it out. Instead of leaving people with no other choices than either eating what they don't like, or going away and buy another computer/using another OS. Colin: Is there anything already decided in how the future keyboard layouts on xkb-data, for Apple machines, will look like: PC-style, or Apple style, or options for both of them?
