I'm still around. I guess you missed my quick workaround the
other day (thanks to the magics of xbindkeys, sudo, and
chvt). However, if there is an alternative to "us" that you
think might fix the problem if given as an argument to
"XkbLayout," I'd certainly be glad to try it. GB settings
are somewhat useless to me, I'm afraid, since I'm from the
US. Thanks, though.

P.S.: When did the thread title get changed, anyway? I
guess I missed that.
