[Samba] Default Keyboard Layout changed to english.

[Kalev Riivik]

Hello,
it's been allmost a week since i wrote to this list and i haven't gotten 
a single replay yet, so i thought i'd ask, if nobody knows what the 
problem is or is my questrion that stupid, that there's no point in 
answering?

UPDATE: I also discovered, that after the update, roaming profile users 
(xp machines) can't see/change their desktop backgrounds and if they try 
to open image files from desktop... the window opens and closes right 
away (works fine if u open picture from shared pictures.... but if u 
copy the same picture to desktop then it won't open). PS: And i haven't 
made any kind of changes to xp computers (besides leaving and rejoining 
domain after update). Also... if users (xp roaming again) add Estonian 
keyboard, then when they log out and in again... its set to English once 
more. (On normal computer i would just delete the English keyboard and 
add Estonian as default.... but i can't do that here.... because even if 
i remove english keyboard, it still remains... luckly if i have two kb-s 
set, then there's a icon on taskbar that allows me to switch it to 
Estonian... for a while anyway).

With regards,
Kalev
