Hi Leszek,

Thank you :) Yes it will be very useful :)
However, there is a problem with this implementation : it will need to start python at each start up, to only change the keymap. I'll prefer to have a script to do this, it should be faster.
I also plan to implement it in lxsession, so it could be solution a bit faster, so both solutions will be available.

Regards,
Julien Lavergne
