[Bug 80702] Re: Keyboard indicator flags are missing

I suppose I should just learn how to make an Ubuntu package. But you can use the (fairly complete) famfamfam flags icon set from http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/, which is "free for any purpose with no requirement for attribution" to get really nice looking flag icons for the keyboard layo

Beni Cherniavsky : Thanks for this information!! Obviously, if upstream decided to put a "Won't fix" on this, I doubt that ubuntu will implement flags (considering all negative sides you mentionned. Since feature requests should now go to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/, I mark this bug as Won't fix

The flags are not displayed for political reasons. (just search the gnome/debian archives for the long debate) As far as I know, languages have no flags. At least I am not aware how the Romanian language flag looks like. Beside alternate keyboard layouts (qwerty/qwetz/dworak), we can also have th

Note about enabling showFlag by default: Flags only show the language and don't distinguish between variant layouts (e.g. US vs. US Dvorak). So users with more than one layout for same language will experience a usability regression if we just enable showFlags! I see 3 ways to fix it: - Add a m

It's not enough addition to have the files available - we can't expect users to edit gconf manually. Enabling flags by default sounds like a good idea. But ideally there should be a easy way to toggle it from the applet. Also, once we have icons, they could also be used in the Keyboard Properties

Thanks for your bug report! For sure, having the possibility to install flags instead of langcodes is nice! At anytime, if you want to include a new package that will provide this possibility in ubuntu repositories, your contribution is appreciated. I took a short look at sodipodi flags and saw t
