Before Karmic, I didn't have to configure gnome at all (meaning, all the gconf settings were working fine if they were empty). Console-setup was configured to [us,gr], and X would pick it up and let me work with it, and allow me to switch layouts, no matter if I used an xterm, gnome, or kde session. I could type a mixed English/Greek password in gdm.
I think it'd be better if all the involved programs were modified to work correctly when all the gconf keys are empty. I.e. gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard inside a session should not result in a broken layout/ability to switch etc... -- Wrong keyboard settings when console-settings has multiple layouts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
