[Samba] Default Keyboard Layout changed to english.

[Kalev Riivik]

Hi,
second week and still not a single response.... I would really 
appriciate it, if someone would actually answer (even to ask for more 
info or suggest something at least).

PS: Since i didn't do anything to windows machines it has to be samba 
(or linux) related. It goes even that far, that users can't run some 
adobe apps (Soundbooth, Elements Premiere) while logged in with roaming 
profiles (it was ok before).

Hoping for a miracle,
Kalev
