It goes beyound Ubuntu not showing keyboard previews and looking ugly. There are other applications that depend on XkbGetKeyboard. In my case, it's Superkb. This application doesn't run at all in Ubuntu 6.10 because of the bug. It worked in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
I kindly ask for this bugfix to get pushed to mainstream. -- No keyboard previews https://launchpad.net/bugs/58083 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
