The multi-user X deployments I know are mostly same keyboard model, but the typical multi-user deployments I'm aware of are bunches of machines with disks, running multiple operating systems. Since this could be say a mixture of Sun, Mac and PC (with and without the Windows keys) you can't say that they are all the same layout; although I would be happy with the assumption that they would all the same nationality. As your unattributed quote (possibly from Danilo Segan) says, the users may wish to use different default languages. -- Dr. Andrew C.
