Package: gkrellm-xkb
Version: 1.05-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
On changing the layout using setxkbmap the plugin simply does nothing.
Only toggling caps or num lock triggers an update. Also left-clicking on
the plugin area results in a menu that when closed gets redrawed to the
correct flag (so the old flag is partly overwritten with the new one).
Furthermore the menu only includes the current layout and nothing else.
The plugin has no configuration or whatsoever, so it is impossible to
use the plugin for changing layouts.
I conclude that the plugin does almost nothing that could be expected
from the description except for maybe showing caps and num lock states.
