I am using enlightenment-0.17.0_alpha5 and seem to have a problem with the
keyboard layout too.
It keeps coming up with a US keyboard, when I have set gb in my xorg.conf.
The strange thing is that with Fluxbox it works fine, so I can't blame xorg
for it - I think.
I don't know if it is related to Jőrg's report above. Anyone else came across
this problem too?
