Now I'm amazed. I stuggled to find the right mappings and put them into 
an xmodmap file - only to find that there was a perfectly good 'keyboard 
model' hidden in gnome-keyboard-properties. (Thanks Sean!)

I think there are two problems here.

1. the name wasn't intuitive enough: "Laptop/notebook Dell Inspiron 
6xxx/8xxx". I might have had a chance if the list was presented as a 
hierarchy, or if it was under Dell or Inspiron.

2. it's too easy to choose a working (but incorrect) key model when 
installing.

Is this deserving of a bugzilla entry?
