Actually (I should have specified it before), nothing changes it. This is really really weird. Well, let's explain it a bit more: if I go to System > Preferences > Keyboard, and then tick Belgium, the zone where you can try your keyboard writes what I type as if I was in AZERTY mode. 'Looks nice, as it is what I want. But when I leave (using `Close') this window, some apps are in QWERTY, and others are in AZERTY. For example, I might even start FF (Iceweasel, more precisely), type an URL in AZERTY, and then, trying to select some text on a webpage using Ctrl-A, Iceweasel will close, because A is Z in QWERTY. So, it changed after some seconds. Moreover, when my password screen comes, after some screensaver, I can type my password (just as before), but it is written `Belz' at the place of `Bel'. I don't know what is `Belz' but it looks like some special QWERTY config for Belgium, as I then need to type Alt Gr + some number on the keyboard to write down a keyboard, when it was written normally if I was using the numeric panel, or simply Maj + these numbers. Sometimes, everything then comes in AZERTY (even the password's window after the screensaver), but sometimes not. Also, sometimes, the config windows (Sys > Pref > Keyboard, as aforementioned) lets me type characters as if I was in QWERTY, even if Belgium is well-selected (ticked). I am not using some prog called `ScKey', `ScPlus' or whatever I do not remember whose name, which was aiming at using different character layouts (cyrillic, etc.) on this computer (I tested it with other computers, though). Everything seems to happen since I have pressed 4 or 5 times the MAJ key, which then let GNOME ask me if I wanted to use soft keys. I do not know soft keys are, but I do not need any accessibility facility, because I have no handicap. It must have messed up with my settings, in some way that I am still misunderstanding. Any idea? Hope I'm clear. Thanks, though. - -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ - -- You don't stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing.
