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.
