Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
Using Keyboard Indicator 2.16.1 from Edgy, my default layout is "German
without deadkeys". This layout is always displayed on the notification
area with a two letter code, "De".
However, if I logout from the GNOME session without turning off the
computer and then I log back in, the Keyboard Indicator applet will show
"de nodeadkeys" on the notification area instead of the usual "De". This
also happens to the other layout I usually switch to (es Catalan).
One thing I might add is that I'm not sure whether the keyboard
indicator applet is the cause of the problem but rather a consequence of
a deeper problem. The reason I'm saying this is because whenever I get
the described behaviour, if I right-click on the applet and choose
"Keyboard Preferences", I get a warning dialog with the following
message:
<quote>
Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take
effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE)
settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings
manager.

However, after clicking OK to close the dialog, the keyboard preferences
are loaded as usual.
In any case, the gnome-settings daemon seems to be loaded, so I think it
might be that the keyboard indicator applet somehow cannot communicate
with it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps -ef | grep gnome-settings
dpm 1344 1 0 15:56 ? 00:00:00
/usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon
Thanks.
