  Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
  
  I set up the Gnome keyboard applet with two layouts - United Kingdom
  (GBr) and Malta (Mlt), with GBr as default.
  
  Initially this works fine, but after I reboot, if I switch to the
  Maltese keyboard layout via the applet, the keyboard generates all weird
  characters.
  
  I discovered that the characters being generated are as if the "third
- level modifier" is on - but I have no third level modifier key defined
- in the options. If I remove the Maltese layout and re-add it, it works
- ok again until the next reboot. Also, if I use the command "setxkbmap
- mt" it also works correctly... but then the keyboard applet freaks out
- and refuses to switch layouts after that.
