I found KeePassX for Linux lacking compared to KeePass on Windows, specifically:

- It does not support references; and

- When switching keyboards, characters in the password (possibly even userid) are switched, almost like it is storing key codes rather than characters. Big annoyance for me since I need to make sure to always switch back to the US English keyboard when using AutoFill.
