I have two bugs reported against console-setup about keybord not working
properly under X Window. In both cases I have asked the reportes to
provide the file /etc/default/keyboard and in both cases the file was
correct. Therefore, the bugs are not related to console-setup in any
way.
Unfortunately X Window and the various desktop environments are
something I don't understand well enough, so I have no idea where to
reassign these bugs. In result, at the moment both bugs are completely
ignored.
Please advise what should I do in such cases.
The bugs are:
#709883 - reported 14 months ago and #724869 - reported 10 months ago.

I tried with gdm3/ligthdm/only startx, and the problems is still
here. It seems related to X or udev since the upgrade, because gnome
is well set and gives a french keyboard (macbook pro one), and for
awesome, my main wm, i have to setxkbmap fr in ~/.xsession to get a
french keyboard layout

I'm still trying to figure out how to get french back at dm greeter
So most window managers and login managers don't get the keyboard right,
however gnome does.
The correct/wrong keyboard setup/information must come from *somewhere*,
but from where?
So one thing the OBR could do to figure out what's going on is to
strace -f startx and the gnome startup, figure out which files are
being accessed (only stat, open and mmap calls are of interest I guess)
and then compare the produced lists.
Otherwise, if nobody can figure out what's going on, or the OBR doesn't
care any more either the OBR or the console-setup maintainers can decide
to close the bug, since no way forward can be made unless there's more
info. Or leave it open.
HTH a bit,
