With all respect, why in the God's name does it work like that? It certainly requires some effort to create such a bug. Not touching keyboard settings as specified by user is surely easier than changing them every now and then by crudely merging in some sort of invisible default which is located who knows where (an in my case, it was not explicitly mentioned in obvious places, xorg.conf included).
Why doesn't it just use that weird default if there were absolutely no keyboard preferences specified (when user is created or his first session starts up) and never look at it afterwards? ---- P.S. I also find the "Keyboard Preferences" particularly flaky. For instance, sometimes when I click on this or that layout in its dialog window all Gnome decorations are re-set to gnome default (current gnome theme just disappears) or the dialog just crashes. Something is seriously broken. But I would not be surprised that in this case this applet is a victim of a system-wide bug as sometimes theme disappears in other applications too (for instance, in Nautilus). P.P.S. Apart from that and a few other nasty glitches, Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat is quite nice. -- keyboard layout preference changing at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598475 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
