I agree with Sven that the toolkit is not responsible for telling the input driver about an updated kernel keymap. The way of selecting a keymap is very specific to the underlying system, but how far is it supported via GDK at all? How does Gnome change the keymap? Are all GTK+ instances notified about a switch to flush certain states or cached information? -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
