------------------
I have posed this question, why the menu bar keyboard icon sometimes
disappears, to the Apple Systems Engineer who serves our campus, and
to AppleCare. They have given me several suggestions, none of which
has provided a permanent solution. I, too, would love to know what
causes this problem, which has affected all the versions of OS X that
we have used: 10.2.3-10.2.6.
I have found that using Disk Utility>First Aid>Repair Permissions
will increase the time period between incidents. It may be that
repairing permissions on a regular basis would prevent the
disappearing keyboard icon problem, but I have done things in the
other order- I repair the permissions when the disappearing icon
alerts me of the need.
