Hiho,

i'm trying to set my "locales" (for germany) on my fresh slackware 10
installation. While not running X everything is ok, but under Gnome 2.6
e.g. while using the gnome-terminal the keymap is broken ( = us-layout)

the tips shown on: http://www.userlocal.com/tips/localesettings.php
didn't work for me

even under X "$ locale" prints:

LANG=de
LC_CTYPE="de_DE"
..
..
..
..
LC_ALL="de_DE"

So everything should be fine, but it isn't

Anyone a hint?



Regards,
Mathias

It' was a (strange?) Gnome-related problem.. although the hole Gnome was
in german the (gnome-internal) keymap was set to "us" ...

Had the same problem. You should just edit the following file:

~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/%gconf.xml
