I experience this bug as well (Lenovo 3000 N200, fairly clean install of xubuntu lucid — but I see new versions have the same thing, xfce-xkb- plugin 0.5.3.3-1ubuntu3).
My .config/xfce4/panel/xkb-plugin-13220036240.rc (although the number is large, this is the only xkb-plugin-*.rc that is, or ever has been present there) looks like this (as intended) even after logout: display_type=1 group_policy=0 default_group=0 never_modify_config=false model=pc105 layouts=pl,ru variants=,phonetic toggle_option=grp:shifts_toggle compose_key_position=compose:menu Nevertheless, in the plugin itself the toggle and compose dropdowns are both set to "-" and neither keystroke (Shifts toggle, Compose on Menu) works. I attach my .xsession-errors; it contains the following line thrice: (xfce4-xkb-plugin:6032): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_destroy: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed I sure hope that helps, as xubuntu is my last resort in the *ubuntu world after I have experienced the horrors of Unity/GNOME 3 when upgraded my Ubuntu to natty and oneiric. ** Attachment added: ".xsession-errors" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-xkb-plugin/+bug/548631/+attachment/2606008/+files/.xsession-errors -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548631 Title: xubuntu keyboard layout switch shortcuts are not remembered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-xkb-plugin/+bug/548631/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
