Bug#296434: capplets: Tested with danish keyboard

[Finn-Arne Johansen]

Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.8.1-4
Followup-For: Bug #296434

Tested again with danish keyboard - same result. 

Also I did a bot more testing on the first installation
I first set XKbRules to xorg (like it's suggested in when using RH/FC) 
and then I get the Error message that many talks about when you serach 
the net - "Error activating xkb ...." But then the keyboard actually 
works - using the preconfigured keyboard set up in X. 
Then I created symlinks
 ln -s xfree86 /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg
 ln -s xfree86.lst /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
 ln -s xfree86-it.lst /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg-it.lst
 ln -s xfree86.xml /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.xml

then the error message disappeared, but the keyboard was again set to 
us.

I Also tried to copy in the above mentioned files from an ubuntu 
installation, but that did not help either.
