Well, we really choose layouts here (and other options). I thought about
it and found it more appropriate (and actually the title over set/clear
buttons on "General" tab is "Layouts"). Probably, "Keyboard
configuration" could be good as well - but we already have "keyboard"
for gnome-keyboard-properties and "Keyboard" for
gnome-accessibility-keyboard properties. Probably we need to invent 3
proper titles which would position these 3 capplets properly.

> s/Keyboard layouts' settings/Keyboard layout settings
Well, it depends on #1 - after we resolve it (create 3 decent and
different capplet titles), this can be changed too.

Sorry. Shame on me. Where did you find it?

I better like "Show advanced options".  IMHO the "..." indicates that
user will get some new dialog - which is not the case, we just show more
widgets. Is there any place in HIG where this type of behavior
specified?

> Also, do you need the icon on this button?
Not necessary. I thought it would be nice to have it here. So if you
don't mind I will leave it there (well, unless there are some strict
rules in HIG which would forbid this).

Press on it - an you'll see:) Actually, it popups the tree widget with
the available layouts (and variants)

No problem. Actually, I did not notice any repeating:)

I will try to hide the single tab...

I would really prefer not to do it. These 2 tabs filled with some weird
and exotic xkb options are not worth separate dialog:)

Well, I will try to do it tonight (if I have time).

It means that user effectively declines do configure anything in the
capplet - he/she just wants to use whatever admin (or user himself)
wrote in XF86Config. So all the rest will remain disabled. If you can
offer better wording for it - really welcome.
