Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
As mentioned in bug #328980 comment #5, it would be a good idea to have
users include their ~/.xsession-errors when reporting errors with their
keybord konfiguration. This is because errors from xkbcomp end up in
that file. These would be particularly useful in diagnosing and
resolving bugs like bug #67188.
I therefore would ask you to add that file or its tail to the list of
information requested by the activation_error function in
plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-xkb.c. Requesting the result of "tail -n50
~/.xsession-errors" has the benefit of avoiding excessively large posts.
It also reuses the wording of the other requests, making it simple to
adjust most translations even if you don't speak the language.
Requesting only command output, as opposed to command output and file
contents, should be easier for users as well.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a reliable word to grep for, so
we'll have to request more information unless we want users to look for
appropriate error messages themselves.
