| Hi I have noticed the new Keyboard Layout Handler while trying out Lubuntu quantal preview. Nicely done, I like it! I've encountered two issues with it (maybe due to my being a Linux newbie): I have found no satisfying way of setting an xkb option with the Keyboard Layout Handler. I like "compose:ralt". The Keyboard Layout Handler settings seem to be stored in .config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel, but I haven't found out whether "compose:ralt" can be added there in some way. I have found are two dissatisfying workarounds for making "compose:ralt" work: When I delete the Keyboard Layout Handler from lxpanel, the old settings in /etc/defaults/keyboard seem to be honoured again. This has the obvious drawback that lxpanel no longer shows the active keyboard layout. The file /etc/defaults/keyboard was where I used to set the keyboard in Lubuntu precise. I don't understand why the settings in that file no longer work when the Keyboard Layout Handler is activated on lxpanel. When I issue the command "setxkbmap -option compose:ralt", I get "compose:ralt" together with the Keyboard Layout Handler. However, I have found no way of doing this automatically on login. When I add it to ~/.xsessionrc or to /etc/environment, it has no effect; when I add it to ~/.bashrc, it has no effect until I have opened lxterminal for the first time. Is there another way? The other issue is only a minor one (and most probably not your fault): The Swiss flag is not correct. Like the Nepali flag (which is correct as far as I can tell), it requires a special outline. In the case of the Swiss flag, the outline must be quadratic. I am attaching a corrected PNG -- it keeps the same dimensions like the original /usr/share/lxpanel/images/xkb-flags/ch.png.  -- grüess mach |
