I shuld think first and act later gnome-keyboard-properties has nothing
to do with this, it instead seems that editing gconf key
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts in sessions is not
respected (if this editing contains removing the default layout).
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
Ubuntu 11.04 (natty)
Kernel 2.6.38-8-generic (#42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011)
Gnome 2.32.1 (Ubuntu 2011-04-14)
gnome-settings-daemon 2.32.1-0ubuntu13.1
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install ubuntu with certain layout, say (United States USA).
2) Add aditional layout via gnome-keyboard-properties (say United Kingdom
United Kingdom)
3) Remove the original layout (i.e. United States USA)
4) Reboot (or log out and in).
What happens:
After step 3), the layouts get changed as expected, but after step 4), the
original layout is stil available and set as default in the keyboard indicator.
(i.e. as if steps 2) and 3) were not executed)
What should happen:
The removal of the original layout should persist across reboots.
- Not sure where this bug resides exactly (either gnome-settings-daemon or
- gnome-control-center that contains gnome-keyboard-properties).
+ It seems that step 2) and 3) edit gconf key
+ /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts, but this key gets
+ overwritten during step 4) .
+
Workaround:
1) Carry out steps 2) and 3) about.
2) Logout (or restart).
3) At the GDM greeter screen, choose your user. Once you do that, you'll
see options at the bottom for accessibility etc. (note that you must set
your user to require password to log in)
4) On that bottom strip, change your keyboard from <OLD ONE> , to
"Other...". From the selection dialog, choose the new one you want to
keep. It should match the one you kept from step 1).
5) Now when you finish the login process, you'll notice the keyboard
indicator is gone. If you open up the Keyboard Preferences dialog,
you'll only see one keyboard listed--the one you want.
