sounds like a misconfigured or buggy GDM... Would be good to try to startxfce4 from a console and not from GDM to see if it remembers your keyboard settings. If yes, then you should investigate how GDM handles keyboard settings when it starts a session. Keyboard layouts can be set and stored pretty much everywhere... a. > How do I fix it? > > Thanks. > James > > > > -- > James Harkins /// dewdrop world > [email protected] > http://www.dewdrop-world.net > > "Come said the Muse, > Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, > Sing me the universal." -- Whitman > --- > [email protected] > http://identi.ca/group/puredyne > irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne --- [email protected] http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
