_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "gb", "",
"grp:alt_shift_toggle"

gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb

 layouts = [gb,hu       standard]
 model = pc105
 overrideSettings = false
 options = [grp grp:alt_shift_toggle]

gnome-keyboard-properties is part of control-center.  Sending over there.

This problem has been reported by several people. You can find some reports at
bug 139480.

(Unfortunately bug 139480 is marked as a duplicate of an x.org config issue,
even though it is definetly a Gnome-related problem.)

This report identifies FC version test3 as affected release. This bug affects
FC2 and FC3, too!

Comment 3 John Thacker 2006-10-30 14:46:46 UTC
[This is a mass update sent to many bugs that missed earlier such messages due
to having their version set to a test version.]

This bug was originally filed against a version of Fedora Core which is no
longer supported, even for security updates.  Many changes have occured since
then.  Please retest this bug against a still supported version.  Note that FC3
and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.

This bug will be closed after a few weeks if no information is given indicating
that the bug is still present in a supported release.

Comment 4 John Thacker 2007-01-12 15:33:06 UTC
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information.
This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora
Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version
for which this bug is confirmed.

Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security
fixes only.  Please install a still supported version and retest.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.
