You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Users who incorrectly select keyboard layout at install time will be
very confused how to make a new layout become active.
How to reproduce:
Install.
Choose International English Layout
Realize that International English Makes the " (quote key) add accents
Go to Keyboard Preferences
Add USA keyboard layout
Set as default
Click "Apply System Wide"
The user now incorrectly thinks that USA is the active layout. However,
International English is still active. There is no obvious way to make
the new layout active, or even a way to know which layout is active.
The addition of a "currently active" column next to "Default" would
probably provide the user with what he needs to know. Or, since there is
an applet for switching keyboard layouts (Keyboard Indicator panel
applet), it would be helpful if it was automatically enabled if >1
layout exists in Keyboard Preferences.
