Kb layout switch in session unlock screen

I can't switch it back to en and have to kill X
to get things back to normal.
This only happens when unlocking a session
and works well inside kde.
Any ideas?
Sounds like it could be a security constraint. A locked screen
shouldn't allow much more than password input. You can't input the
password with the non-en layout? Too bad :-(.
Hi Zac,
That doesn't sound optimistic. Does it?
The problem is it used to be working.
And the widget to switch kb layouts is still there.
But it doesn't work as expected.
And yep. The damn password is all ascii. Too bad.
I've just found this is not the only problem I'm having
with i18n in kde. For some reason I can't switch encodings in
kde editors either.
I should mention this happened after massive system cleanup.
Removed gnome and a bunch of multimedia soft I didn't need any more.
Followed by usual depcleans and revdep-rebuilds.
Didn't find any inconsistences in installed ebuilds though.
So the challenge still stands and all suggestions welcome.

I wasn't aware that such a widget existed. If I knew how to make the widget
appear and switch keyboard layouts then I would gladly test it for you on my
end.
