With this new addition to the file, I can now find my layout by clicking the second tab, called By language, or something like that (trying to translate from Swedish). When I click that tab, and then select Swedish as Language, Johnny Rosenberg is now one of the Variants. However, Johnny Rosenberg can still not be selected in the first tab, but I guess I'm not supposed to in Ubuntu 8.10. Or is this a change in Gnome rather than in Ubuntu?</div> <div></div><div>Anyway, I consider my problem solved now. I guess I have to make my layout a Variant of the Swedish layout to be able to see it in the By Country tab.</div> <div></div><div>Thanks for reading.</div><div></div><div>Johnny Rosenberg</div>
