You have been subscribed to a public bug: In GNOME, I use the keyboard layouts USA Dvorak international and United Kingdom (same layout for all windows, scroll-lock set as switch key).
At seemingly random times, when I close windows to applications like gvim and chromium, my layout will switch. I can't work out a way to reproduce this reliably. The only thing I know is that I'm happily Dvoraking away, then I close a window, and start typing and am surprised with gibberish because my layout was switched to QWERTY behind the scenes. I think I've experienced this since Ubuntu 9.10 at least.
