Bug ID: 455462
Summary: Wayland: Wrong keyboard layout for non-KDE programs at
login
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Screenshot of the relevant part of the 'settings' dialog.
My laptop computer has a German keyboard. When I log into a Wayland session,
however, the layout is English for all (many?) non-KDE programs. This includes
in particular Thunderbird, Firefox, and the 'Element' Matrix chat client.
I can get a German layout with the following steps:
1. Open the 'keyboard' part of the system settings program
2. Switch to the second tab ('Belegungen' / Layout(?))
3. Tick the checkbox 'setup layouts' (my translation. In German: 'Belegungen
einrichten').
4. Press apply.
Curiously, it doesn't seem to matter whether the checkbox is ticked or
unticked, as long as I can press 'apply' once.
I'll upload a screenshot of the settings dialong, because I am not sure about
the English names.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412101 seems closely related, but it is
marked as 'fixed'.
