Bug#490013: xfce4-xkb-plugin: Not starting when layout 'ro' with variant 'std' is used
Package: xfce4-xkb-plugin Version: 0.4.3-1 Severity: important Hello, On my system I use three keyboard layouts which are configured through xorg.conf as follows: Option XkbLayout us,ro,ru Option XkbVariant ,std,phonetic or set manually with: setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us,ro,ru -variant ,std,phonetic With this configuration, since the last modifications of the xkb-data package [1], which included improvements of the romanian layout, the plugin is not able to start. I tried to debug the issue but did not come up with a reason. Meanwhile, I reconfigured the xkb settings with the following setup: Option XkbLayout ro,us,ru Option XkbVariant std,,phonetic or setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout ro,us,ru -variant std,,phonetic and this works, ie the xkb plugin functions as expected. During debug I observed that the symnames from both layouts differ. The first layout generates this symname pc+us+ro(std_cedilla):2+ro(std):2+ru(phonetic):3+group(menu_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps) and the last one (that works) gives this: pc+ro(std)+us:2+ru(phonetic):3+group(menu_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps) and this also causes the symbol_names to differ (duplicate 'RO' entry in former). I wasn't sure to which package send this bug (the other one is xkb-data) but the layout that is not working with xkb plugin works fine with the kde4 language switcher.

What was the result before xkeybord upgrade? and the last one (that works) gives this: pc+ro(std)+us:2+ru(phonetic):3+group(menu_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps) And in any case, simple inverstion shouldn't change like this the result. and this also causes the symbol_names to differ (duplicate 'RO' entry in former). I wasn't sure to which package send this bug (the other one is xkb-data) but the layout that is not working with xkb plugin works fine with the kde4 language switcher. I guess there are two bugs. I don't think the symname is correct when using ro,us. But it shouldn't confuse the plugin like this. -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Totally agree. Maybe it's the way the file configuration file for the layout has been written. and this also causes the symbol_names to differ (duplicate 'RO' entry in former). I wasn't sure to which package send this bug (the other one is xkb-data) but the layout that is not working with xkb plugin works fine with the kde4 language switcher. I guess there are two bugs.
