Mihai,

if I had started using diacritics and someone chatting with me had told me they're broken I would have not known there's a patch for XP.
Please stop ignoring the fact that most people have no idea what patches are, do not know about WGA etc. They just see the computer is doing yet another annoying thing.

I think we should move to standard layouts sooner rater than later, but by _being aware_ of the implications and risks and trying to mitigate them, not by waving them out of the way as if they didn't exist. Please stop saying XP users will know what to do. Mostly they won't. And additionally there's the admin rights thing Cristi bought up.

So we need to expose the comma layouts from xkb-data. That is necessary regardless of which will be the default.
