Hello,

My French-Canadian keyboard is not recognized:
2010-04-06 14:42:35 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00001009" (00001009)
2010-04-06 14:42:35 (EE) Keyboardlayout "Canadian French" (00001009) is 
unknown
2010-04-06 14:42:35 Rules = "base" Model = "pc105" Layout = "us" Variant 
= "" Options = ""

If I use "setxkbmap ca fr" it defines it OK but when I start a new xterm 
the keyboard is not OK: the "`" dead-key does not produce an "è" if I 
hit "`e"; it just produces a plain "e" (but it works ok in the initial 
xterm).

I think this might be related to LANG not being set OK (it is set to 
C.UTF-8 by default). I tried to set it fr_CA.UTF-8 but it didn't work 
either.

I also have a problem with my start icon that doesn't seem to pick up my 
custom parameters. The command is:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe 
-xkblayout ca -xkbvariant fr -emulate3buttons

The layout is always US and the 3 button emulation doesn't work either.

Any help appreciated!

Denis
