Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.8.1-4
Severity: normal
I installed sarge, and updated to sid.
When the default user created during installation loged in in GNOME,
the keyboard was set to american, and had to manually change the
keyboard settings to the correct layout (swedish). The "swedish" layout
was configured during the installation process, although the locale is
for the Catalan language (ca_ES).
This happens for every new user created.
Here comes a bit of info:
A user that has set the layot correctly has this key:
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
layouts = [se]
model = pc105
overrideSettings = false
options = []
update_handlers = []
$
While a newly created user:
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
$
(i.e.: empty)
Here are the rellevant lines in XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"

I understand what you want, sadly I don't think this is going to be
implemented. Very concretely, this would require to write a code
snipset for this particular configuration variable, and bind it to a
"debconf" screen (such as the screens you see during the installation
of Debian).
There are simply too many gconf configuration variables for us to
write a screen to explain in detail how each works, and to permit its
configuration. Many variables are optional and have reasonable
defaults.
If one considers "GNOME" and "Xfree" to be different things, as well
as the console and Xfree are different things, this is reasonnable, but
of course it doesn't integrate very well "cross-applications".
The answer to your problem is at
<http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/ch01.html>, basically
use a "default" type of configuration, with
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults", and set the keys you
mentionned in your report.
I'm closing this bug, feel free to reopen it (or mail me) if you want
to discuss this further.
Bye,
