Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I have an up-to-date pure Hardy install where I have GNOME set up to use
two keyboard layout variants in gnome-keyboard-properties: USA/Dvorak
and USA/Default. Dvorak is the default. It is also the one specified in
my Xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak"
EndSection
The problem is that the GNOME keyboard shortcuts configured with gnome-
keybinding-properties seem to ignore it when I switch between keyboard
layouts. They always use my default layout, Dvorak. The rest of my apps
use the current layout correctly. The problem occurs regardless of how I
switch layouts. e.g., using layout switching shortcuts, the layout
switching applet, or even re-ordering the two layouts in gnome-keyboard-
properties all gets ignored by the GNOME keyboard shortcuts.
I realize that this bug may have been intended as a feature, but if so
then it should be configurable.
