Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.6.0.3-2
Severity: important
Tags: experimental
I'm using a "Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro". My X settings have it
configured as an "Itouch" keyboard (See X config included). Gnome's
keyboard capplet shows my keyboard as "Logitech Itouch" (seemingly per X
config). When I change the Layout to be "Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro"
and log out/in, key strokes register but do not produce characters. AKA,
I can't type.
If I "reset to default", log out/in, I can type again. I'm not sure why
this is happening or how to debug it, but it seemed like a bad idea to
allow a Gnome component to be able to "disable" one's keyboard.
