** Description changed:
Impact: currently the keyboard layouts are not respected in i.e gnome-
screensaver, that makes typing their password hard for some users
Test case:
With two keyboard layouts (layout1 and layout2, where layout1 is the default
for the session)
1) lock the screen with CTRL-ALT-l
2) touch mouse to bring up screensaver dialog
3) switch keyboard layout to layout2 (and note keyboard indicator indicates
layout change)
4) enter password *as if layout1 was active* [1]
5) screen is unlocked
6) switch back to layout1
Repeat, but this time skip step 3 - screen is still unlocked. That is,
it seems that although the screensaver dialog indicates that it changes
the layout - it is always using the one layout.
+
+ Test case bis:
+ - install pitivi
+ - run python
+ - type
+ from gi.repository import Gtk
+ builder = Gtk.Builder()
+ builder.add_from_file('/usr/share/pitivi/ui/projectsettings.ui')
+
+ with the precise version it bugs, with the update it should work
Regression potential: the change impacts keyboard layout so watch for
issues if you are using several of those
