This is not a valid criterion for bug fixes, though.

This bug is about keyboard layouts, and I doubt that the majority of
users have US keyboards. Even if that were so, we shouldn't decline to
fix a bug just because it "only helps non-English speakers".

I do appreciate that this is an important bug, but fixing it shouldn't
break other things. Apparently it was fixed properly in Jaunty, so I
guess in some way it can be properly fixed in Intrepid.
