Than XFree86 must be wrong, or dutch us keyboards are different for US us keyboards:)

I have a new "dutch" keyboard, which is just a US keyboard (setxkbmap nl, gives me all 
kind
of wrong symbols when pressing certain keys, for instance: @ instead of ~). 

Next to the 5 is located an Euro (€) symbol. So I think it is obvious that something 
like alt-5 is supposed to
make an euro-char?

..this actually comes down to adding this line to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/us 
(or make an nl_us entry):


    key <AD03> {        [         e,    E               ],
                              [  EuroSign                     ]       };


and substituting the AE05 line with:

    key <AE05> {        [         5,    percent         ],
                              [  Eurosign,  cent             ]       };


This works beautifull for me and is better than the deprecated (?) xmodmap stuff.

While we're at it, maybe other much used dutch characters (é, è, ë) can be added as 
well somewere (question:
where???????? so I can make a complete file?) in this new layout. It should be 
submitted to the X people I guess, 
since us keyboards are muuuccch more used in holland than the original dutch keyboards.

Also an entry for dutch keyboards should be made in the kde-control center.
 

Oh..another question: any idea where I find (or define?) this 'Compose' key?

"`... then I decided that I was a lemon for a couple of 
weeks. I kept myself amused all that time jumping in and 
out of a gin and tonic.'
Arthur cleared his throat, and then did it again.
`Where,' he said, `did you...?'
`Find a gin and tonic?' said Ford brightly. `I found a 
small lake that thought it was a gin and tonic, and jumped 
in and out of that. At least, I think it thought it was a 
gin and tonic.'
`I may,' he addded with a grin which would have sent sane 
men scampering into the trees, `have been imagining it.'"
