Usability gaffe in Gnome
I upgraded my Ubuntu desktop from Edgy to Feisty today morning and upon logging in was greeted by this dialogue box. It didn't take me long to decide that I wanted to use the pc104 model, since that corresponds to my hardware. I was then stumped by the choice facing me because there was no clear relationship between the keyboard model descriptions and the buttons available to press.

Update: evidently the Gnome folks are aware of this already, although it's sad that it hasn't been fixed yet when somebody else already blogged about it over a year ago.
