Yes I can :-)

I've run a first test using your i386 image and seen a few serious regressions in localechooser/kbd-chooser.

first screen: hit enter to select English
country shortlist: select "other"
country longlist:
- move down to "Europe" and expand using "+" I noticed that hitting <enter> on a continent will expand as well, which is nice, but possibly not intentional; hitting enter again does not collapse, which is inconsistent
- type "ne" to search for "Netherlands" first regression: search does not activate Netherlands!
- select "Netherlands" manually
kbd-chooser second regression: Canadian French is selected as default keymap! Huh? How the hell did that happen? It should be American English with English/Netherlands selected in localechooser... If I select Finnish, the same happens (at least, assuming I correctly translate "kanadanranskalainen" to "Canadian French", but it seems quite logical).

One annoyance:
With the Yes/No buttons, a default will be set, but that button is not actually active. This means that when you use tab to go to the next button, you have to tab twice: the first tab will make the default button active, the second tab will change to the next button.

Note that I do not really think the Yes/No buttons are an improvement over using the radio buttons. Will elaborate on that in another mail.

More general reply later.

Cheers,
FJP
