Hi Lior,

I did as you described below; none of it affected the kkbswitchrc file -- even 
purging the package did not remove it. So I removed it myself, and as I 
suspected, neither reinstalling the package nor purging and installing 
cleanly did not recreate it. 

When the file is not there, the flags are not shown, which I think is a 
problem (it means every user must conigure the package on her own, manually).

I think, assuming the install/upgrade scripts are not supposed to edit files 
in every user's home directory, that there should be a kkbswitchrc 
in /etc/kde3 (it seems a host of other KDE apps use this place) for the 
program to fall back to (I tried just setting one up, and the program ignored 
it, so I guess this needs to be coded in). But perhaps this should be a new 
bug.

Hope this helps,
	Shai.
