I am still running XFree86, so I am not sure if this will apply to you. Based on the version of KDE you are using, it seems like you are on Sid. Anyhow, in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I have these lines in the keyboard section: Option "XkbLayout" "us,us_intl" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:win_switch" I don't use KDE, so I am not sure, but I seem to recall that KDE has its own way of handling changes to the keyboard layout. Since I use WindowMaker and my wife uses GNOME, I wanted something that would apply in both cases. However, I know that GNOME has its own keyboard layout applet and I would surprised if KDE did not. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
