Same in UK vs US keyboard layouts. In UK Shift+2 should give " and in the US
keyboard it should be @. In alpha3 I get:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: default
layout: us,gb,
options:
grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
While, in say fluxbox I get:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: default
layout: gb,el
options:
grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
I don't know where e17 reads the US layout from ... but running 'setxkbmap gb'
in a terminal works fine.
