X doesn't allow multiple keyboard layouts at the same time, so per-window is not possible. That leaves the display problem. So why there is Separate Layout for Each Window flag in Keyboard Options? And why did it worked befor? For the record - per window layout works perfectly fine for me. In fact, I use it in quite the same way - to have my native languages keyboard layout for the gaim window (I have to use the Alt+AltGr shortcut key when the convo window appears) and english layout everywhere else. When I activate the gaim convo window, my keyboard indicator goes to my native language if I have already changed it, and back to english if going to a different window (or a different toplevel of gaim, as I haven't switched it for these yet). Having said that, I don't know much of the internals of these bits yet, and can't comment yet what could be wrong. I am experiencing most of same symptoms for a week now. That is, symptoms one and two are there exactly like that, and I'm not sure about three - I do see the keyboard layout graphically when adding a new layout in the prefs, but is that what is meant? Did you update inputproto and co for input-hotplugging from ~arch by any chance at the time when this broke? I think I did, but I didn't notice the breakage until a couple days after I did the upgrades so need to test things when I get some time.

In few days I've updated again and indicator got fixed. Now it sims to be OK. To me it seems that still a) keyboard indicator doesn't update to indicate the current select b) "Separate group for each window" option doesn't make a difference For others there is no libxklavier-3.1 to try, which based on the ChangeLog might help with indicator updating, but for me in 2.16 doesn't. I'm willing to put all the blame on too new xorg-server and co but can't testing downgrading right now this seems to be working all fine with gnome 2.20, could you please test again and tell us if it's fixed for you as well ? |
