mpt , Allan Day, How about changing the button from Apply System-wide and making it a *checkbox* [/] Make default layout for any newly-created user account and the login screen. now when user checks the option , the user is prompted for the password. or if this cannot be done this way , add a button Unlock above the checkbox , Before unlocking the option is greyed out. Unlocking , should make the option availabe to edit. A checkbox should be better than a button. if needed we can explain how much ever we want with a checkbox ;) -- In gnome-keyboard-properties, layout options tab, Apply system-wide option is unclear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 359009] Re: In gnome-keyboard-properties, layout options tab, Apply system-wide option is unclear
The 'Apply System-Wide' button has a couple of other problems: - it doesn't allow a user to see what the current system settings are - it is unclear which of the settings in the layout tab are applied to the system-wide settings Would it therefore be preferable to have a separate 'System keyboard preferences' settings dialog instead of the current 'Apply System-Wide' button? That way you would have an 'Edit system settings' button at the bottom of the keyboard layout tab which would open another dialog. Another question on this topic - how does the 'Reset to Defaults' button relate to the system-wide settings? Are these 'Defaults' the same as the 'System-Wide' settings? If they are, consistent terminology should be used. -- In gnome-keyboard-properties, layout options tab, Apply system-wide option is unclear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 359009] Re: In gnome-keyboard-properties, layout options tab, Apply system-wide option is unclear
I agree this dialog is a good candidate for paper cuts as a priority. I am also not clear what the apply does when the default radio option is on and off. Note that as I understand it the login screen layout does not change, as username is restricted to latin characters as it is used to create files.. Also users must be able to type in characters used to establish their account information. The user must switch to the layout in order to either use the test input box or set the layout for their session. This is done by a key sequence for Layout Switching (Alt-alt or shift-alt as defined in Layout options) Suggestions: There needs to be a button to Set the selected layout as active for the session, i.e. switch layouts The user needs to easily test the new layout in the input field. There needs to be better visibility into the means for switching to the next layout, or a specific layout, at any time. The apply button should go away or get better definition. -- In gnome-keyboard-properties, layout options tab, Apply system-wide option is unclear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, it means apply it to (a) any newly-created user account and (b) the login screen. That's hard to explain in the confines of a button.
