changing default (login window) keyboard layout
I set up an old iMac for my Mom, but I had to replace the HD. When I did, I just copied my old one using Carbon Copy Cloner. This'll be nice when I go home for Christmas so that I can continue to work on my stuff. However, I use Dvorak as my main keyboard layout and I want her to use the standard USA keyboard layout. When I first installed the OS, it asked for what layout I wanted to use, now I don't know how to change it. The only reason I really want this is so that the login window will be the standard layout. I know that once she logs in her settings will take over. If you could help me, that would be great.

There's a thread here: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showth...&threadid=9872
which basically says do this in the terminal
sudo /Applications/System\\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\\ Preferences &
Do that, change the keyboard then log out and log back in. (The thread later claims this won't work but I'm reasonably sure that's what I did. There's a suggested workaround anyway if you have trouble.)

then the layout doesnt matter and you dont have to play with root...
