Public bug reported:
The Edgy Eft ISO OEM installer only offers "British" if you select the
uk in the previous locale options. This somehow translates to the "with
dead keys" layout in Gnome.
This layout does not work very well for a standard UK 102 key keyboard
layout, and leads to the double quotes, single quote (apostrophe) and
tilde keys becoming dead keys for producing diaeresis and accented
characters. It took me a short while to realise that it was this, and
not the VMWare layer.
It is strongly suggested that the default "British" keyboard layout is
standard UK 102, as very few users would want to use the "Dead Keys"
layout.
