[il] Re: pre-installed keyboard layouts for specific language

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Well, Coburn, first I suspected that it was the UI for adding keyboard 
layouts which was the problem. Then you made me believe that the issue 
you are experiencing is somehow related to the installer. And now I 
think — again — that it's the Settings -> Keyboard UI.

Please note: Keyboard layouts are *working* irrespective of which locale 
is enabled. But indeed, the behavior of the overcomplicated UI for 
adding layouts is affected by the selected locale.

You really need to be more specific if you seek others' attention to a 
problem you are having. I have stopped guessing.
