this part still leaves me baffled. I can understand that forcing locales like this may change the flag and the keymap (for those themes which apparently allow you to change the keymap), and so for the sake of the flag I suppose that setting one locale may be worthwhile. But - 1. I assume that everybody who uses X in BLFS with a non-US keyboard already sets up a conf file to force the correct map (and if they want to use an extension, or a complete redesign such as Dvorak, the keymap they specified will be what currently gets used by the greeter ? 2. If you change the map in the greeter, I assume that only applies to the greeter, and not to the session it launches ? I can understand that you wish to be able to login with a pt-BR and a US keymap, but I think that multiple options 'fr,gb,br,us' will cause confusion - I suppose that a skilled and experienced French user might be able to type (blind, for the password) on a QWERTY keyboard, but AZERTY is so different that many people used to QWERTY will have difficulty. Conversely, allowing me to choose between US and GB would be a real aggravation - most main keys are identical, but one (\|) does not get mapped in US layouts and some symbols and signs (which might get used in passwords) are in different places. But perhaps I have understood how it all fits together. ĸen -- Il Porcupino Nil Sodomy Est!
