Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New LXKeymap version with autostart support

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New LXKeymap version with autostart support
Hi Leszek, Thank you :) Yes it will be very useful :) However, there is a problem with this implementation : it will need to start python at each start up, to only change the keymap. I'll prefer to have a script to do this, it should be faster. I also plan to implement it in lxsession, so it could be solution a bit faster, so both solutions will be available.
