Oops. I meant setxkbmap.

Yes, I tried this and some other combination, to no avail. I ended up 
with a QWERTY unusable keyboard (that's no offense to QWERTY users, but, 
in my editorial work, I really nead all diacritics!). Finally I was able 
to get something usable, but don't ask me how. ;)

Ok, thanks for the hint.

Last strange thing. I am no more able to use X11 forwarding thru ssh. I 
always get the following error:

The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1 error_code 9 request_code 55 minor_code 0)

If I change the DISPLAY variable to remote_host:0.0, that is to say not 
to use the ssh tunnel, everything is fine.

Go figure ;)
Thanks once more.
