Description of problem:

A keyboard layout bug. After boot strange characters entered from keyboard
instead proper ones. Also keyboard layout cannot be switched neither by
switchkey, nor through menu switcher. Default layout is US English, second
layout is Russian-winkeys. The proper layout can only be restored through
keyboard properties screen.

The attachment shows incorrect characters displayed just after bootup, with
layout indicator shows US English as the current layout.

By the way, on the fresh system all worked well (FC9-release). The bug appeared
after I made updates from the Internet.

I'm not sure what component should be selected for this bug. I hit the same
problem. After a restart I have to go to the keyboard setting through keyboard
applet and change something (deleting and adding keymap). Then keyboard
switching works then again. I'm using default GNOME session.

I think official Fedora notes should mention that languages other than English 
are not fully supported. Otherwise all people who use another language would 
think Fedora is a very buggy system.

This bug appears to be similar to

keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277

Could you please verify that you have enabled autologin on your system?

If this is the case, then it would be better to change the report title to
"Autologin in GNOME disables keyboard layout switching"

As i know fedora 9 do not have autologin feature because xserver.1.4.9 do not
support it anymore.

You're wrong. It has no GUI for autologin to switch on, but I enabled autologin

I am not familiar with Fedora; in Ubuntu there is an option in
System/Administration/Login Window/Security/Enable Automatic Login.

What this actually does is it tells GDM to let a specific user in by default.
Essentially, it's a GDM option in Ubuntu.

There are two separate issues here (from what I can tell so far).

One is that the keymap with autologin is different before and after the first
key has been pressed (when the keyboard is evdev anyway).

The other one is that gnome is incapable of setting the xkb map correctly.
Specifying layouts in HAL's fdi file or the xorg.conf works fine, including the
switcher applet.

I'm still trying to figure out why the second happens.

The fix is rather invasive [1]. I made F9 and rawhide packages, if you could
give them a try that would be much appreciated. Please make sure that you can
rollback in case something breaks:

to go to the keyboard settings after every login and set layout

Bug description:
  (This report used to cover two separate but similar looking bugs. We
  split them now, and here we describe one of the two bugs. The other
  bug, Bug #251443, has to do with some shortcuts to switch between
  layouts not working. An example is the Alt+AltGr shortcut).

  If you enable autologin (it is in the settings,
  System/Administration/Login window/Security/Enable Automatic Login),
  then any settings about your keyboard layout including the shortcut to
  switch between layouts do not work on your next reboot.

  In other words, the system ignores any keyboard layout settings that
  have been configured in GNOME.

  This issue has been reported upstream (Freedesktop Project), and the
  link is shown above.

  A good description of the root of the problem is at this post by Peter 
Hutterer,
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/036947.html

  "setting the keyboard without a device flag changes the VCK.  On the
  first keypress of a device however this setting is overwritten by the
  keyboard that is actually being used. If you hit a key before gnome
  sets the keyboard layout, the phys.  keyboard's settings are already
  copied into the VCK and thus gnome can overwrite them again.
  consecutive keypresses don't overwrite it again, since the phys.
  keyboard doesn't change.

  "The correct solution here is to let gnome set the keyboard settings
  on each physical device they apply to."

  A workaround is to run "setxkbmap" (command line utility), which
  reapplies the layout settings in GNOME.

  Another workaround is to make a small change in the Keyboard layout
  settings, something that implicitly reapplies the settings from GNOME.
  For example, you can change the order of the layouts, then change them
  back.
