Package: xlibs Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Severity: minor
The us keyboard definition in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/us has three layouts: basic, intl and alt-intl. In kde's keyboard configuration utility kxkb, only the intl and alt-intl variants can be selected. The reason seems to be that for the 'basic' variant, the 'hidden' attribute is set. Quoting the kxkb maintainer [1]: There may be a problem with "hidden" attribute though, currently kxkb HONOURS that attribute and does not show the variant in the list while setxkbmap may still use it by default. If the problem is with "hidden" attribute I'd connect with X.org people and ask them why "hidden" variants are used by default - I thought they should be used as an "abstract base classes" instead and their only function is to have real variants inherit from them. So, is the 'hidden' attribute set incorrectly for the 'basic' layout? [1] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96592 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
