Just to be precise, Swiss German = Switzerland... I think I'm seeing the same thing (using gnome), so I won't open a new bug report. After a yum upgrade F-12 -> F-13, my default keymap changed from Finnish to USA. I have both installed. The "Fin/USA" keymap icon also appeared in the upper bar. In GDM login, the default keymap appears to be USA. In system-preferences-keyboard both are listed (Finnish on top) but there is no way to choose the default. Looking at release notes, my first doubt was under Section 4.4 wrt. the addition of ibus. This bug has been triaged -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This is pretty annoying and still a problem. What I currently do is I always have to remove delete the USA keymap from gnome-preferences-keyboard; it reappears after each login. I think I had the same issue. In the GDM screen, do you have the same keymap selected as the one you selected in your session? If not, that's why both appear again everytime: the one you specified with the Gnome tool inside your session, and the one you selected at the GDM screen, which GDM adds again every time. I fixed this by making sure GDM was set to the exact same layout as the one I had chosen in the Gnome tool, then the second one never reappeared again. It's like GDM and gnome-preferences-keyboard don't read the same configuration files, which is pretty annoying... Yes, in GDM the default keyboard layout is "USA". When I change it to "Finland", the layout in Gnome won't get added (again), and that default sticks to the next login as well. So I've worked around my problem. More generally, I don't know what changed in F12->F13 upgrade in this respect. Maybe GDM default changed or the source where they obtained configurations changed. It sounds similar to this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552397 I think the way it works is conducive to user confusion :) This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
