Hi Alexey, I noticed the same behaviour on 7.2/Xfce. In my case, I downgraded xkeyboard-config to 0.6 and everything is fine again. But I found out one particularity, that might be useful for you. When I set xkblayout something like this: Option "XkbLayout" "us,sk" Alt doesn't work. But when I set slovak keyboard first: Option "XkbLayout" "sk,us" it works! Language switching as well. I didn't try replace sk keyboard with others, so it may be specific bug. Marek
