User Feedback :: non-us keyboard fix in .xinitrc doesn't work

Well, thanks! And keep up the good work.

I will have to have more of a play with this now too, because I struggled to get my Polish keyboard working. The closest I came was actually having the Alt-Gr and appropriate letter key print something different, but nothing like the characters it was supposed to. At least it was thinking about it :-)
