15 well, I prefer gnome and fluxbox if performance neede. But it was all
16 running ok till some update, but I had not time to solve it at that time.

25 Oh, this is interesting, I thought, it should be "en cs" that I am using.
26 Sorry for being confusing, I will attach the make.conf. In my mind, this
27 isn't problem of window manager as gnome was running and it has no
28 localization package.

33 Yes, it is, currenlty I use these packages perhaps related to xkb

35 running X server.
36 [ I] x11-apps/xkbcomp (1.0.3): compile XKB keyboard description
37 [ I] x11-apps/xkbutils (1.0.1): X.Org xkbutils application

39 [ I] x11-libs/libxkbui (1.0.2): X.Org xkbui library
40 [ I] x11-libs/libxklavier (3.1): High level XKB library
41 [ I] x11-misc/xkbdata (1.0.1): X.Org xkbdata data
42 [ I] x11-misc/xxkb (1.10): eXtended XKB - assign different keymaps to
43 different windows
44 [ I] x11-plugins/gkrellm-xkb (1.05): XKB keyboard switcher for gkrellm2

50 This is not afaik necessary in gnome.

69 Well, sorry I should not say experimental but I was told that there can be
70 some problems on 2007.1, so I have not switched yet.
71 ls -l /etc/ | grep make.profile
72 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 2007-05-06 14:42 make.profile ->
73 ..//usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.1
74 Maybe it would be good idea to switch, if you have not experienced any
75 problems.
