[Frank Billington <297428@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I may interject here:  I too need this previous feature to work
again.  I have learned (the hard way) how to edit evdev.xml so that my
custom keyboard definition for the Nuer language (Sudan) appears in
Kubuntu 10.04 at Control Center | Regional and Language | Keyboard
Layout | Layout.  IIUC from the comments here, that is going to
disappear next time I upgrade.

I guess I am requesting as well that this issue be cared for.  While it
is indeed a 'power user' feature, surely an African distro that is made
for 'the people' should be able to handle custom keyboards in the
language of that people.  It should not take a degree in computing to
bring this about.  The user should not have to hand-edit config files to
get what is needed, only to have them overwritten the next time he/she
upgrades.

I am not the only one needing this feature either:

I appreciate greatly the work of the many volunteers that make this
project go, and I am not complaining.  I am just a simple user that has
come to depend on this excellent distro for my day to day needs, and I
am making a polite request that it be cared for.

If I should be posting this info elsewhere, then please let me know.
And, thanks again, folks, for all your hard work.

Frank.
