I am aware of that having performed about 100 Linux installs . . .   :)

However, what I am looking for is automatic detection, so that when a
stack/standalone opens it 'reads' the keyboard of the host computer.

Why?

Because pressing the first letter key in the top-right will give a 
different
KeyDown signal if one uses (say) a QWERTY or an AZERTY keyboard.
