Hmmm.  (checks)  Nope.  When I install the UK new euro keys it shows up 
in the drop down no problem (New Euro Keys UK).  Alas!  Woe!  Umlauts 
are a PITA.

Yeah, I use Ubuntu whenever I can (I have to run specialized mapping 
software in windows so I have to keep it around) because it's so much 
more sensible about, well, everything.

But along those lines I downloaded the Microsoft keyboard layout creator 
(and installed .NET 2x) and modified my usual Dvorak and tried to create 
the installer....only to be hit with a string of errors that keep the 
thing from working.  There is clearly a voodoo curse on me having 
umlauts and esstset.

Any tips on the MSKL?

Ah - sympathy is never useless :)  I know I'll be typing in German for 
my lessons, so at least I know all this effort is worth it!
