OK, I've found an extra twist to this problem: I'm on a Dell Latitude D620 in a docking station. The option does get partially applied, but it only works with the built-in keyboard. The setting does not get applied to the external USB keyboard that I use most of the time, until I go into the options as described.
At the console, 'showkey' shows keycode 100 press/release for the right- alt key on either keyboard. In X, xev shows keycode 108 (keysym 0xffea, Alt_R) for the USB keyboard, but keycode 108 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key) for the built-in keyboard. -- GNOME keyboard layout options are not applied on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
