Pablo,  
afaik dutch keyboards are still occasionally sold, but Dutch people are very us 
oriented especially  
concerning computers. I think over 90% is just us keyboards. dutch keyboards have just 
some  
extra characters (like ij being one character) and some stuff on different locations.  
  
We do use some accents, but only rarely. For instance to put a pun (is that the 
correct word?) on  
a sound, but it is normally not used. But if I were to to some professional writing in 
Dutch, I would  
occasionally need it. But perhaps this is better done by using alt and than pressing e 
and " to  
combine it to �. I think on windows, most people use alt-number for doing this.  
   
And we do have, on newer keyboards, an euro sign next to the 5, which should be 
activated by  
pressing alt. I never got this to work, even although I asked you (IIRC) some time ago 
to add it to  
xkb. And it is there, it just doesn't work, unless I use all kinds of xkbset commands. 
Higher level  
apps, like kde keyboard selection, don't seem to be able to set it correctly for me:(

I installed Mandrake with "Nederlands" (Dutch) as the default language.  It then 
suggests 
a few keyboards, and the default choice annex suggestion is "US International"; this 
is 
incorrect, our default keyboard is "US".
