Honestly, I think autodetection would be a terrible way to do it. It
would be confusing for the user if they switched to a new, cleanly-
loaded machine and found the behaviour different, and difficult for a
technician used to different keyboard shortcuts. It might be better to
do like SuSE did (does?) and prompt the user to select a set of keyboard
shortcuts on account creation, and then add an option somewhere so it
could be changed or checked later. That way, the user can select what
basic set of keyboard shortcuts they want (Windows-style, OS X-style,
Gnome-style, or KDE-style) from a clearly-labeled dialog, and there'll
be less risk of confusion at a later date.

BTW, Elliott, in North America, most keyboards here are labeled with a
Windows flag as well, although some newer keyboards, primarily those on
laptops, have a Vista-style flag-in-a-circle emblem.
