4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
libgnomekbd is the Gnome keyboard configuration library. It
delivers libgnomekbd.so and libgnomekbdui.so and associated
headers. It also contains a configuration applet to select
enabled libgnomekbd plugins.
libgnomekbd.so library loads keyboard layout information available
in the system from libxklavier library and interfaces with gconf
and Xserver APIs to dynamically manipulate/load/unload keyboard
configuration in the system.
libgnomekbdui.so provides support for GUI based interaction of
keyboard functionality in Gnome environment, including displaying
the selected keyboard layout.
(libxklavier, re-introduced through PSARC/2009/483 is a utility
library to make working with XKB easier. X keyboard extension
or XKB extends the ability to control the keyboard over what is
offered by the X Window System core protocol.)
PSARC/2009/483 describes in detail the risk mitigation plans for
utilizing libxklavier, these does not apply to libgnomekbd as it's
a library which depends on libxklavier for it's functionality.
Applications which uses libgnomekbd can inturn make use of the
same recommendations as made for libxklavier (like disabling the
keyboard layout selection functionality when XKB is disabled,
display is remote or when these libraries are not present in
the system)
libgnomekbd libraries will be delivered in SUNWgnome-keyboard-libs
package.
