apt-get install xkeyboard-config

(By using dpkg --force-depends instead of apt-get or aptitude you won't end up removing other X and ubuntu-desktop packages).
Once this file is properly installed, "<tt>/etc/init.d/gdm restart</tt>" is needed to get X to use it.

+!!Setting up Mozilla Thunderbird to work with Hotmail
+
+My girlfriend likes hotmail (*sigh*) Luckily, I think she mostly just likes her hotmail address.
+
+Luckily, I think she mostly just likes her hotmail address.
+
+Anyway, I managed to get hotmail and thunderbird working together on her ubuntu-running laptop.
+
+I made sure she's running the latest version (breezy) and just apt-got the necessary stuff :
+
+<verbatim>
+apt-get install hotway
+</verbatim>
+
+That part was easy. There's no real configuration you need to do, but this isn't so secure.. you might want to edit hosts.allow & hosts.deny to tighten things a little.
+
+I made sure inetd was installed and running (though xinetd may be preferable? whatever works) as it wasn't installed by default.
+
+<verbatim>
+apt-get install inetd
+</verbatim>
+
+Then just point your mail client to 127.0.0.1 (or hostname or localhost.localdomain)and port 110 ; enter your full hotmail address (e.g. hotmailuser@hotmail.com) and hotmail password.
+
+Start getting your hotmail!
+
+:)
