All -

I'm looking into KDE/X setting to accommodate multiple keyboard/language
settings at a system level vs. a user level.  I've attempted to get input
from Red Hat via Dell & HP but no luck.

In a nutshell I'm looking for a way to configure KDE/X to give the user the
automatic ability to switch keyboards at a system level.  I've played
around with the kxkbrc file but couldn't determine how to configure KDE to
read this file at the system level vs. having each individual user
attempting to configure their keyboard.  In addition, it seems like the
keyboard setting requires the corresponding language to be set as well, for
example, in order to use the Euro symbol I had to set the Language for UK.

Does it make sense to have say 5-6 KDE keyboard settings defined
automatically for the user and the only thing they would accomplish is set
the language prior to login?  Can this be avoided by a KDE language setting
that can be completed?

In addition, how does the language/keyboard settings affect logins from
other sources (i.e. ssh, VNC/Exceed)?  What are the advantages/drawbacks?

Is there a better way to have single configuration that could accommodate
multiple regions/countries?

Currently using:
KDEv3.3
RHASv4.4 with 4.5 kernel

I'd appreciate any direction and/or suggestions.

Regards,
Ashis
