The XServer is not detecting anything. You'll have to configure it in 
/etc/X11/XF86Config. 

 This is not the behaviour
 outside the X server. (I.e in a cygwin command prompt window the keyboard map is
 correct).
 
 Not having the XF86config I understand from the documentation that Xwin is
 configured from a combination of the native env and command line switches.

Maybe the XF86Config file is not installed by default but the newest release now
read this file if it exists. A sample file can be found at
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/XF86Config-4.bz2

 I have checked the region settings and they are set to United Kingdom, althougth
 the checkbox set as system wide locale is not selected.

The windows settings have no effect to XWin.

Can anyone offer any pointers as to where to go next.

Thanks in advance.
