I agree with Lars Pettersson; I have installed FC3/FC4 on three 
different computers and I am using US and Swedish keyboards alternately 
and have no problem. During install I used the US keyboards and then 
installed system-config-keyboard and gnome-applets. When I add Keyboard 
Indicator to the panel I add the 'other' keyboard and note the default 
under Layouts. This then allows me to switch keyboards by simply 
clicking on 'USA' or 'SWE' and it will shift from one keyboard to 
another. All keys operate as expected. Not only that, since I am using 
the US keyboard by default, I do not even have to plug in the Swedish 
keyboard but just change layout, of course, if I can remember where the 
keys are on the Swedish keyboard. Consequently, '@£$€¥{[]}\±´øæöäå' were 
all typed on the US keyboard with the layout set to 'SWE'.
