Bug description:
Impact: currently the keyboard layouts are not respected in i.e gnome-
screensaver, that makes typing their password hard for some users
Test case:
With two keyboard layouts (layout1 and layout2, where layout1 is the default
for the session)
1) lock the screen with CTRL-ALT-l
2) touch mouse to bring up screensaver dialog
3) switch keyboard layout to layout2 (and note keyboard indicator indicates
layout change)
4) enter password *as if layout1 was active* [1]
5) screen is unlocked
6) switch back to layout1
Repeat, but this time skip step 3 - screen is still unlocked. That is,
it seems that although the screensaver dialog indicates that it
changes the layout - it is always using the one layout.
Test case bis:
- download
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screensaver/+bug/872701/+attachment/3189855/+files/bug.ui
- run python
- type
from gi.repository import Gtk
builder = Gtk.Builder()
builder.add_from_file('bug.ui')
with the precise version it bugs, with the update it should work
Regression potential: the change impacts keyboard layout so watch for
issues if you are using several of those
