Great thanks to Ubuntu folks (especially to BenC) for fixing Edgy Eft kernel on G5. I returned from MacOS back to good old (well, rather new) GNOME 2.16. Lads, you rock! If you just would not have broken it at the first place…;)
Also, guys, what did you do to Epiphany so that it does not work with gmail? Even Firefox’s beta feels more stable…
xkeyboard-config
If everything is ok, next release is going to happen within a couple of weeks or so…

libgnomekbd
A mess of two virtual modules, libgswitchit and kbdraw, finally got a real chance to be resolved. Heavily refactored, they are combined into one proper library libgnomekbd. Finally, decent unit test applets are created. Actually, there are 2 .so objects – one is “gui-less”, for linking to things like gnome-settings-daemon.
Next step would be replacing virtual modules in g-c-c and g-a with new extra dependency (I foresee hot discussions with respective maintainers:) – and, as I promised several times, adding indicator to gnome-screensaver dialog.

People already reported several times nasty problems with the layout preview. Now I can see it myself – XKBlib(xlib) in Ubuntu Edgy Eft is broken, so XkbGetKeyboard returns null. I can just wonder why…

Since my crazy idea to update to Ubuntu Eft killed temporary my Power G5 (well, not macos part of it:), I has to fallback temporary to my good old Acer laptop.
Ubuntu folks, please please fix your kernels ASAP…
gsw…
I am considering separation of the virtual module libgswitchit to a standalone library libgnome-kbd-indicator (it later can be merged to any other library, subject to discussion) within 2.18 cicle.
