Description Eido Inoue 2007-05-25 01:48:54 UTC

Description of problem:
The cursor-locater assistance functionality interferes with people that use more
than one keyboard (for example, those that use a Dvorak keyboard with there
Qwerty laptop when it's docked)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control-center-2.16.0-14.el5
gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-19.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add keyboard selector applet to panel. Create a U.S. Dvorak keyboard in
addition to main U.S. keyboard. Set to a 104-key keyboard
2. Enable "highlight the pointer..." in gnome-mouse-properties.
3. Switch to Dvorak in gnome-terminal. Attempt to use control-C etc. 
  
Actual results:
Mapping for the control keys follows main keyboard and not chosen keyboard.
Sometimes it follows neither.

Expected results:
Control keys should follow the mapping of the selected keyboard.

Additional info:
It seems that the cursor locater functionality also affects each window's
ability to remember its state (which keyboard its using) as well.
