keyboard layout resets on start
Hi. this is most probably a desktop environment issue.
here goes:
every time I (re)boot, I have to reset my keyboard layout back from standard american to something german that I want to use
here's the story:
I've been running kubuntu (latest) with KDE 3.x (latest; not v4) and as it was a pain to watch the hours pass I decided to switch to xfce and am now running the latest version (4.x) which at first worked perfectly until I got rid of KDE also, setting the machine to use gdm by doing
dpkg-reconfigure gdm
now I don't have to activate the desktop manager manually which is great because I use it anyway, but now I have this stupid keyboard prob which irks. however, xfce settings manager seems to remember the settings but does not apply them. so I check and uncheck the box "use x configuration" at every logon.
clever ideas appreciated a lot. thanks.
