this was my problem (as you can see, I have renamed it so that it did
not load this time I logged in)...

$ cat kxkbrc.bak
[Layout]
DisplayNames=us
IndicatorOnly=false
LayoutList=us
Options=
ResetOldOptions=true
ShowFlag=true
ShowSingle=false
SwitchMode=Global
Use=true

[Locale]
Language=en_US:zh_CN
[craig at lin-workstation config]$

I would think that this would be benign but if I rename it back again, I
will lose the use of a number of keys on my keyboard including the arrow
keys, the delete key, probably the home/insert/page up/page down keys (I
didn't check them).

Thanks for the help...now if only you could teach me Chinese as
quickly.  :-)
