Keyboard map probs

[Piers Kittel <debian@biased.org>]

Hello all,

Did an "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" and my keyboard settings has 
been reverted to the US map (again!) and while I can use "loadkeys uk" 
and "setxkbmap gb" to get the UK keyboard back on X and console - but I 
can't remember how to make the changes permament?  Rebooting reverts the 
keyboard back to the US layout.  And no, I don't want to create a new 
script to run loadkeys and setxkbmap each time I boot up - I mean, every 
time I booted up, it always loaded the UK keyboard automatically without 
any scripts, and now it loads the US keyboard.

The XF86Config file does contain enteries for the UK keyboard yet I need 
to run setxkbmap to change it to the UK keyboard?

Continuing on the same vein, I seem to find that nearly each time I use 
"apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" it generally breaks little things 
each time, such as the XFConfig file, or keyboard settings, or 
backgrounds - for example, at the same time as my keyboard map got 
reverted back to US, debian.jpg got changed to Debian.jpg which 
windowmaker and KDM didn't like it and so I had to find the new 
filename, and update the config file for both.  Why does small things 
break when I do an "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"?

Thanks very much for your help in advance ;)

Cheers - Piers
