Package: xfce4-xkb-plugin
Version: 0.4.3-1
Severity: important
Hello,
On my system I use three keyboard layouts which
are configured through xorg.conf as follows:
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ro,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" ",std,phonetic"
or set manually with:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us,ro,ru -variant ,std,phonetic
With this configuration, since the last modifications
of the xkb-data package [1], which included improvements
of the romanian layout, the plugin is not able to start.
I tried to debug the issue but did not come up with a
reason.
Meanwhile, I reconfigured the xkb settings with the following
setup:
Option "XkbLayout" "ro,us,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" "std,,phonetic"
or
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout ro,us,ru -variant std,,phonetic
and this works, ie the xkb plugin functions as expected. During
debug I observed that the symnames from both layouts differ. The
first layout generates this symname
pc+us+ro(std_cedilla):2+ro(std):2+ru(phonetic):3+group(menu_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps)
and the last one (that works) gives this:
pc+ro(std)+us:2+ru(phonetic):3+group(menu_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps)
and this also causes the symbol_names to differ (duplicate 'RO'
entry in former).
I wasn't sure to which package send this bug (the other one is
xkb-data) but the layout that is not working with xkb plugin
works fine with the kde4 language switcher.
Thanks,
Igor Stirbu
