Hi all,

I kinda solved my problem:

I managed to get the kde keyboard layout switcher to work. Before, I had 
problems with it - it was disabling the arrow keys etc. Here, selecting 
"Evdev-managed keyboard" as keyboard type instead of the generic 105 key did 
the trick. Now this gives me a German layout in all apps I start.

A problem remains with lancelot / kickoff, which is apparently started before 
the layout switcher is initialized. Here I chose, as a dirty workaround, to 
kill lancelot via autostart. This means it is restarted the first time I click 
on the K menu.

Meanwhile, I've recompiled hal, xorg and evdev from debian sid; I have however 
not yet tested if this makes the problem disappear as a whole. Anyway, I think 
I won't file a KDE bugreport about this story because I still think that the 
problem here is related to my weird system setup.


Cheers,

Stephan
