Bug#657440: xkb-data: cannot switch between two kb layout in gnome



Hi Rémi.

Rémi Letot <hobbes@poukram.net> (26/01/2012):

I'm not sure if Gnome interferes here. Feel free to open a bare session
(http://x.debian.net/faq/general.html) and play with setxkbmap to see
whether the layout is fucked up, or if the layout switcher in gnome is
buggy.

Anyway, feel free to report your findings on an upstream bug
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ product xkeyboard-config) and let us know
about the URL for tracking.

Mraw,
KiBi.
