Keycodes are ok --- Ctrl+Alt+Fx don't have symbols, but I'd say they are not supposed to have some. I just found out the hard way that the screen turns black and the comp seems to be frozen when I start the gnome-panel and select Desktop-->Preferences-->Keyboard. Only thing I can do then is pressing the Reset button to reboot :( I'm not actually using gnome, except a few apps and the panel sometimes, with Enlightenment as WM. What's going on with these keyboard preferences?
