Hi Hetz,

I'd be happy with Dirk's suggestion of the default being set back to what it 
was before (as it already has been in cvs) and placing a notice in 
kpersonalizer for the next release.  Carsten Wolff and I have emailed about 
getting better keyboard settings for Windows & MosOS for 2.2 too, so 
that should be working shortly as well.

Best of luck with your work!
Ellis
