I guess that this is the reason why my attempts to run setxkbmap in ~/.xsessionrc or ~/.bashrc have had no effect. Couldn't you use setxkbmap in a way that does not override previous settings, but instead add to them? According to man setxkbmap, this should be possible at least with the options since the option flag by default "adds options specified in the command line to the options that were set before". I guess taking over previous settings might also help to keep the Keyboard Layout Handler clean and and slim. No flexibility would be lost without your including all the options from man xkeyboard-config. If somebody (like me) would want some of the more arcane settings of man xkeyboard-config, they would be able to do so in the old-fashioned way (e.g. /etc/defaults/keyboard). Everybody else would continue to benefit from your improved Keyboard Layout Handler. >> The other issue is only a minor one (and most probably not your fault): >> The Swiss flag is not correct.

Thanks, and please feel free to copy the flag I have edited (you should get the attachment this time). -- ciao mach
