Yes, the "terminal" role is a-okay. For example for_window [window_role="terminal"] border pixel 22
works fine. And the dbus-send command also works if it's run from the terminal. But if I start a new terminal with $mod+Enter, it comes up with the wrong layout. For testing, I did this (the same dbus-send command bound to $mod+o): bindsym $mod+o exec --no-startup-id dbus-send --dest=ru.gentoo.KbddService /ru/gentoo/KbddService ru.gentoo.kbdd.set_layout uint32:1 and pressing $mod+o in the new terminal changes the layout to US, as I expected. My guess is that the switching to the US layout happens too early. Maybe kbdd kicks in on the new window just a bit after the US layout was set and kbdd overwrites it with the default. This didn't work either: xte 'keydown Shift_L' 'keydown Caps_Lock' 'keyup Caps_Lock' 'keyup Shift_L' but this one (that sleeps 0.5 sec before simulating the keypresses) did: xte 'usleep 500000' 'keydown Shift_L' 'keydown Caps_Lock' 'keyup Caps_Lock' 'keyup Shift_L' So, this seems to be some stupied timing issue. I'm sorry about bothering... Uz.
