Hi,

It looks like this is rather a feature than a bug and also the right=20
package for this bug report seems to be 'capplets'.  GNOME tries to=20
configure the keyboard automagically based on the system locale and it=20
all happens when entering the session.  Am I understanding correctly? =20
If so, apoligizes for the false alarm.  You may safely close the bug or=20
reassign it to somewhere else if my understanding is correct.

But this mechanism introduces some problems for multi layout languages. =20
There are two completely different keymaps in Turkish (Q layout and F=20
layout -- something like the difference between qwerty and azerty). =20
System's locale would only help to select a default keymap (Q layout for=20
this case).  Regarding the language-env package,  I would like to find a=20
generic solution to setup the X keyboard for new users from a central=20
location which is valid for all x-session/window-managers and .xsession=20
appeared to be the natural choice.  But as far as I see, GNOME (2.6)=20
session handling prevents me to setup the non-default keymap (F layout)=20
in .xsession.  Any suggestion for this problem wrt GNOME?

Thanks,
