Aha, that's interesting.  Yes, I just did that on the machine without
the GBr button, and it came up with exactly the same dialog that I can
get by right-clicking the button (on the other machine).  As you say,
the button appears when there are two or more layouts in the list.

(I'd expected this to involve adding something to System ->
Preferences -> Startup applications, and I couldn't find anything
relevant.)


Thanks!
