Not really, at least not in my (puristic) opinion. I have a friend called AndrÃ, and I sure do want to write his name correctly. There is also some german city or a village, which is named using an Ã, so these are indeed needed sometimes. However, I guess many germans consider them useless and would like to be able to type ^ without pressing space afterwards. There should definitely be a german layout with dead keys (think of my friend installing debian and being asked for his user's full name). Whether there should be a default layout without them, is an another question. -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
