4) Add some more locales, like "English (AU)" that use English (UK) as language but English US keyboard.
I originally liked this option, but imho it opens more questions than it answers. Currently, we present the list in YaST Language menu as 'supported languages' meaning supported in YaST and system. The selection of language does these things: 1. sets the locale - this may actually be the good thing for Aussie users to use en_AU instead of en_GB or en_US 2. sets the language used by YaST , these are the text stored under /usr/share/YaST2/locale/ and packaged into yast2-trans-* . We provide en_US and en_GB: what should we do for AU, NZ, CA? Create a symlinks to en_GB? Or do nothing, which means the backup to en_US? 3. selects some extra packages with tranlations for installation, like OpenOffice or KDE. Here there are bunch of packages for GB, and few for e.g. AU (you can see the list in Languages menu of YaST software selection). The benefit might be, that those AU packages get installed (unlike situation with selecting en_GB); on the other hand, there will be some other missing where used to be British ones; so the texts in these cases backup to US again.
5) Any other ideas?
About that location idea discussed here, it does not solve the keyboard layout problem in general. While it might help for Australia, selecting country does not help in cases with more keyboard variants for country (Canada, Belgium, Germany...). So we'd be back to 'good proposal for some, manual selection for others' situation, which we already have. One more idea: add a check box that would cause/prevent automatic adaptation of keyboard layout according to the language selected: http://w3.suse.de/~jsuchome/screenshots/inst_welcome_adapt_chbox.png But the obvious issue coming with this is what the default state of checkbox should be...
