This is in Jaunty - yes? I did do a clean install of Xubuntu using Intrepid a few months ago and
didn't find a solution to the keyboard switching problem.
I suppose my main gripe about XFCE is that I just don't like it. It looks like it belongs in a
museum. On the other hand LXDE looks good and 'modern'.
Perhaps it is possible to get Canonical to switch to LXDE for Xubuntu.....
