After more testing, I think the problem might be with gnome-settings- daemon (which is still in gnome-control-center at the moment).
I noticed there are several other issues which I think that are related. I think _no_ keyboard settings are set-up at login, including the layout. For instance, I have a slightly modified dvorak layout set-up in gnome. However, X starts up with the normal dvorak keyboard (as it's set up in Xorg.conf). The differences are small, but I'm pretty sure my custom layout isn't used at login. Also, if I restart gnome-settings-daemon (by killing it and running it again; is there any other way?), the settings take effect immediately; I don't need to re-set them in gnome-keyboard-properties. Since the options are shown as selected in gnome-keyboard-properties, I don't thing gconf's to blame. -- Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
