Plain German layout, no modifications. I set LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 (installed on
the system) to capture the debug output, to avoid localisation in the logs. It
might be due to this that it tries to guess something about the keyboard
layout  from the locale. But the problem exists regardless whether I start
Orca with my native locale or with en_GB.
