Yes, and it's likely you don't have that luck either. I still find a 
bunch of 101 keyboards in use. Btw, does anyone know how japanese 
keyboard lucks like? XFree86 has configuration for pc98, but I have no 
idea what that is.

IMHO this shouldn't go into kpersonalizer. I think the sensible thing 
to do is to asume that people have configured XFree86 correctly and 
that information is valid. It's also not userfriendly if you must 
answer the same question several times.

I think that the problem Antonio had can be blamed on XFree86 bug.

P.S: Do configuration files for all X servers look the same?
