1. Bringing up the force-quit dialog (command-option-escape) can sometimes disable keyboards in ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts. This can be worked around by moving them to /Library/Keyboard Layouts. Please let me know if this is part of the problem.
2. Sometimes other keyboards will not remain enabled over logoff/logon, even if they are not in ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts.
Please do the following in Terminal:
defaults read com.apple.HIToolbox "Keyboard Menu"
The normal result is:
The domain/default pair of (com.apple.HIToolbox, Keyboard Menu) does not exist
If you get a different response, please contact me by private e-mail.

Greetings
I have created several Unicode keyboard layouts for OS X 10.2.x which are available at
<http://quinon.com/files/keylayouts/>
Usually I have activated two of them: LatinTL and ArabicQWERTY.
After updating to OS X 10.2.4, Unicode keyboard layouts checked in Input Menu tag of Internet Preferences do not stick anymore. I.e. with each restart, they vanish from Flag menu and become unchecked in Input Menu.
My settings in Input Menu tag of Internet Preferences have not always been retained even before 10.2.4. Sometimes one of checked keyboard layouts vanished or was replaced with another, e.g. my ArabicQWERTY replaced with Apple's Arabic. But these glitches were not always reproductible at least with 10.2.1-10.2.3.
Now, even common keyboard layouts such as Unicode Hex Input do not seem to stick. I have not tested extensively with Apple keyboard layouts though.
Of course, I suspected my system installation. So I clean installed OS X 10.2 on another partition and created a new user. I have not tested with each updater, but OS X 10.2.1 retains Unicode keyboard layouts I have chosen whereas 10.2.4 does not.
Is this a bug? Or something is wrong with my keyboard layouts?
