hum ... this one's tricky. Couple things: - could you try going to the latest version of control-center or applets to see if these packages are to blame or not? If you've tried several combinations and you have the only that works, please confirm the versions you have installed. - We've been having a lot of bugs with gnome and multiple keyboard layouts lately, it's kind of hard to say what's at fault here. If you could open a bug upstream and post all the info you posted here (thanks for all the detail btw), that would help too. - I'll probably be putting libxklavier-0.3.1 soon. I'd like you to unmask it and give it a try when I commit it, 0.3.0 is already "old". I'm not very familiar with Xorg's handling of multiple layouts, but maybe you're pushing this new release a bit too far :) Does it work/segfault with, say, only 2 layouts with default options? Thanks for your time. (In reply to comment #1) > hum ... this one's tricky.

Many different problems, like failure to find dbus address (cured by adding dbus-launch --exit-with-session to .xinitrc), gnome-settings-manager crashes, keyboard applet probs. I can't downgrade or upgrade only one of that 4 packages because they depends on each other. So I can only mask/unmask them all together. > I'm not very familiar with Xorg's handling of multiple layouts, but maybe > you're pushing this new release a bit too far :) Does it work/segfault with, > say, only 2 layouts with default options? but it worked before this new release :) I've reverted back to latest versions of the packages and reduces number of layouts in xorg.conf - same problems, nothing changed. Thanks for your attention and help for what it's worth - I got the old version of keyboard layout strings back after upgrading gnome-applets to version 2.17.1 (USA instead of us, etc). I wonder what change fixed it, etc - need to track that down at some point.

It seems to depend on matching versions of a couple things... (In reply to comment #5) Didn't work for me... Is this still reproducible with GNOME 2.20? If this is still an issue with either Gnome 2.20 or the upcoming 2.22, please don't hesitate to reopen that bug. Thanks |
