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.
