My xorg.conf is attached.

Without the extra altwin:super_win option (i.e. desktop switching is broken), the command above gives:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "microsoftpro", "gb", "", ""

With the extra altwin:super_win option (desktop switching working), the command gives:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "microsoftpro", "gb", "", "altwin:super_win"

I get similar results on another machine which has "pc105", instead of "microsoftpro".

Regards

Rob
