Description Jiri Koten 2012-04-20 10:12:59 UTC

Description of problem:
I have two keyboard layouts - en, fa. When I switch to fa and then lock the screen, It gets switched back to en.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libxklavier-4.0-9.el6

How reproducible:
100% on ppc64, s390x, cannot reproduce on x86

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add keyboard layout indicator to the panel
2. Right clicking on it and opening keyboard properties
3. Add another layout (I picked Afghanistan)
4. Change the layout to fa
5. Lock the screen
  
Actual results:
lock screen dialog uses en layout

Expected results:
lock screen dialog should use fa layout

Logging in using vnc session, also unchecking "Separate layout for each window" makes no difference.
