So I guess this has to wait for the next release. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Because of the said problem (just imagine the keytable got corrupted and you have to rescue the system ... shudder). I'll see what we can do with checking, though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

That should give us a good indicator here. Unfortunately the actual keyboard setting is hard to figure out, as just the mapping is stored, not which language it belongs to. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
