I have trouble believing what I read. This actually is a feature. Wonderful. Quoting that page: : Folks, look, That feels like some downtalking is going to happen. : US/Dvorak is a tiny number of users Ahh, it is! : compared to all users of Russian, Arabic, Greek, etc. Why compare? These are distinct groups with distinct wishes. Guess what--you can't abstract everything. Not even in gtk+. : While the feature may seem weird to you, it's really important for : those users." Configurability is a wonderful thing. I wonder how these users (those with the non-roman alphabets) manage to use only gtk+ applications, if this functionality is so important to them.
