and whilst I am on, I upgraded from edgy to feisty and removed the .gnome* and .gconf* directories, in an attempt fix something else. Somewhere during the course of this (playing with xorg.conf files to get my twinview back) I reverted to US keyboard. I fixed the xorg.conf and reset my linux console keyboard with:
dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-setup But this was not picked up by gnome. Is this related in some way? -- [feisty] gnome-terminal emits wrong character for quote on GB keyboard https://launchpad.net/bugs/96921 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
