It'd be great if system-config-keybaord allowed setting more than one keyboard layout and switching between them. Yes, I know that GNOME keyboard switcher allows it, but it'd be nice to allow setting this system-wide. Not a high priority, of course...
[This is a mass update sent to many bugs that missed earlier such messages due to having their version set to a test version.] This bug was originally filed against a version of Fedora Core which is no longer supported, even for security updates. Many changes have occured since then. Please retest this bug against a still supported version. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier. This bug will be closed after a few weeks if no information is given indicating that the bug is still present in a supported release.
Feature still not present in FC6.
ping -- any update on this? This is an issue that should be tackled in Anaconda as well and could be tested in firstboot. Selecting a global language on a system should give you a way to actually write in this language, even outside X. Besides, by creating users in firstboot one might need to write in the new language; currently we do not provide a way for the user to know which keyboard comb changes the layout.

This won't be added into s-c-k unless you write a patch for it. If you want to set this system-wide, you can modify the default GConf configuration with gconftool-2.
