I'm using glibc-2.3.6-r3 (stable branch).  Your statement on May 4 was
correct, and believe me, I'm very glad that the problem is solved here!

Pawel has not reported back from my last suggestion of trying to use the
us_intl keyboard layout.  It would be nice if that solved his problems
with his Polish locale/keyboard too.

I still find it strange that OOo is the only application I have which
needs a locale other than C or POSIX defined.

Cheers, Dave
