I just upgraded to 2.1beta2. When I click on the flag icon to switch keyboards, it changes its appearance, but when I type I still get the US keyboard. .xsession-errors still has "Can't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property." Do I need X 4 for this to work? Is it a known bug in KDE? At least I can cut-and-paste accented characters. :) Thanks, John
