Bug#381979: Patch for this bug, RFC
yesterday i produced a dirty patch [1] for the GTK frontend to make the
underlying DFB system force-reload the keymap at every frontend_go()
call and Davide made tests and confirmet it works.
This patch direcltly calls a DFB function from the GTK code: this is
unclean and will be polished as soon a new ad-hoc function will be added
to GDK API, so this is a temporary workaround.
Such a patch forces DFB to reload keymap at every gtk_go() call: this
means an impercetible overhead, but i was wondering if there is a way to
detect if the keymap has changed without adding the burden of an IPC
system (pipe or signal) between localechooser (or whatever d-i component
sets the keymap) and the GTK frontend.
Awaiting for suggestions..
cheers
Attilio
