Keyboard and start options problems


Hello,

My French-Canadian keyboard is not recognized:
2010-04-06 14:42:35 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00001009" (00001009)
2010-04-06 14:42:35 (EE) Keyboardlayout "Canadian French" (00001009) is unknown
2010-04-06 14:42:35 Rules = "base" Model = "pc105" Layout = "us" Variant = "" Options = ""


If I use "setxkbmap ca fr" it defines it OK but when I start a new xterm the keyboard is not OK: the "`" dead-key does not produce an "è" if I hit "`e"; it just produces a plain "e" (but it works ok in the initial xterm).

I think this might be related to LANG not being set OK (it is set to C.UTF-8 by default). I tried to set it fr_CA.UTF-8 but it didn't work either.

I also have a problem with my start icon that doesn't seem to pick up my custom parameters. The command is:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe -xkblayout ca -xkbvariant fr -emulate3buttons


The layout is always US and the 3 button emulation doesn't work either.

Any help appreciated!

Denis
