The second Beta release (v0.2) picks up the keyboard layout

It seems to only pick up certain keyboards. Is there a way to make it do
Russian or Greek for example?

Russian and Greek work fine for me, selecting either of those in the input menu, then typing in an X application correctly switches the X keymap to contain keysyms startting with Cyrillic_ and Green_ respectively (you can use "DISPLAY=:0 xmodmap -pke" from a Terminal window to check this - note that after changing the input menu X doesn't update its keymap until you subsequently type in an X window)


However, it's possible that not all X applications will be able to handle these keysyms, or may not be using a font that defines glyphs for them. Try a GTK2 application with a font known to contain the correct glyphs.
