This workaround looks very intrusive to me. It adds an unconditional new autostart .desktop file, which alters the X session startup sequence and thus is a potential source of regressions.
Also, please consider that GNOME doesn't use X.org's keymap by default, but manages it on its own. As soon as you use setxkbmap with a particular option, you break the keyboard layout applet and the "switch keyboard layout" hotkey. This doesn't *seem* to happen if you call setxkbmap without parameters, but can we be sure that it doesn't berak anything else? If the workaround is well understood and believed to be correct, can we please call it in gnome-settings-daemon (which handles keyboard layout), instead of adding a completely new conffile and autostart .desktpo file? -- A GNOME login without keypress dosn't set GNOME keyboard settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 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
