Just thought I'd mention this since I just got SCREWED by it ... ;-)

In KDE Control Center, in the section 'Personalization', subsection 
'Keyboard layout' - for the menu 'keyboard model' there isn't a 
selection for 'macintosh' which is what the XkbModel line in my 
XF86Config is set to ... now mind you, I didn't need to set anything 
about my keyboard model, since it was working - I merely wanted to add 
German as a keyboard layout.  Well, apparently you can't do one w/o the 
other, since as soon as I hit 'Apply' I was switched to PC104 keyboard 
which doesn't actually allow me to type anything coherent (iMac DV; 
Summer 2000).

Solution: edit ~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc and change the model back to 
"macintosh" - all set.

I didn't file a config file for the Control Center that controlled what 
options that menu contained, so I'm guessing its compiled in - if I get 
a chance, I'll grab the src.rpm and get a patch to you.
