italian layout showed

When you go to add a new keyboard layout and select a UK layout, it (awesomely) shows the actual layout and the values of all the keys. However it shows it over a US-style physical keyboard (i.e. with a one-row-high return key).

The keyboard model I have selected is "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC". The problem is that the physical layout of the keys for this keyboard type is not constant.

The fix: The code should detect when a UK layout is detected and draw using UK-variants of the 105-key (or whatever) keyboards.

Instead of this: http://concentriclivers.com/misc/keyboard_current.png
It should look like this: http://concentriclivers.com/misc/keyboard_correct.png

I confirm the issue, seems that every draw is confused, the attached is not an italian layout.

These in Ubuntu 10.10

This has nothing to do with gnome. The rules in xkeyboard-config should be fixed.
