Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
(Yes, there are a few similar bugs, but they are all much more special.)
After upgrading to karmic, GDM breaks my keyboard configuration within X.
My layout is (as always) specified in /etc/default/console-setup, exported to
HAL and understand correctly by X.
(Therefore any session started by startx, xdm, etc. works fine.)
However, GDM ignores that layout completely and forces(!) me to choose
one of "its" layouts, which then is used for entering my password and
for the whole GNOME session afterwards. - This forces me after each
login to do a "reset to defaults" to get my configured layout back.
Please add an "system default" option, which just leaves the layout alone, like
e.g. xdm does.
This should be no much work and should solve some of the other bugs, too.
(My current workaround is replacing GDM by XDM, but that's not very nice
either, since GNOME depends at a few places on GDM, like when locking
the screen.)
