Bug#488857: gnome-applets: keyboard indicator stopped working

[Francesco Potorti`]

I meant:

"I suspect bug #480021 (no XKB support in X server) is connected with
 this."

I solved the problem.

I did:

$ xkbset q
XKB not supported for display :0.0

then, I did:

$ setxkbmap us

at this point, the keyboard indicator was able to show me the correct
keyboard layout.  I did

$ setxkbmap it

and the same happened for the Italian keyboard layout.  Still, the
keyboard indicator would not work.  So I removed the Italian layout and
added it back again, then want to the keyboard options, changed some of
them, than changed them back again.

All the above described operations were apparently necessary to restore
correct working.  Now the keyboard indicator works again for me.

I am not sure whether this bug should be closed.  It could be showing
that the keyboard indicator settings somehow are corrupted when
upgrading xorg, and they need to be restored manually.
