Hi,
Srry I forgot to add this in the tut, but u have to change the language part. Go to this part of the tut
/usr/bin/X11/xvkbd -geometry 800x130-0-75 &
export LANG=en_US
exec icewm
and change the LANG part to the one shown. Srry about that

Dunno if this helps with IceWM since my gentoox has no X so I haven't tried that, but I had to make these settings on my laptop running standard Gentoo with Gnome.
In /etc/rc.conf, I changed the line:
to
that should be for the console...also change the
or to some other consolefont found in your system, usually at /usr/share/consolefonts/
In /etc/profile I put the line:
meaning I want english messages/labels but other settings are swedish (SE).[/code]
Hope it helps...

to edit the layout of a the on screen keyboard you need to click on the xkbv button on the keyboard itself.
To edit the layout of a real (USB) keyboard you need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and find the section for your keyboard and change the language there then save the file and hit ctrl+alt+backspace to kill X if you have the gdm patch installed gdm will restart automatically if not you will need to type startx
