[Bug 27711] Re: Systems settings does not restore properly the keyboard layout, until logout/login

[Albert Cardona]

I am no longer using KDE, and I resorted to have my own Xmodmap that gets loaded on top of everything else. I still can't type eacute, agrave, etc. with the ease of a mac, but at least in an xterm I can type alt+i, alt+a, etc.
My partitions are near capacity and thus I cannot install KDE to test this bug. Feel free to close it.
I would appreciate though if someone can point at a help page which explains how to use an american keyboard to type non-english, european languages characters with the ease of macosx keyboard (with the alt key, which I never use to access menus).
