Description Dotan Cohen 2010-05-02 09:36:17 UTC 
One of the xkeyboard-config compatibility options uses the text "Shift with numeric keypad works as in MS Windows". This does not explain what the function does, and why is it assumed that the user is familiar with MS Windows? The text should explain what the option does, and could maybe have the "as in MS Windows" text in parenthesis.

I'm not sure "improve" is the right word here, but it does explain the behaviour now.
