Description Till Maas 2008-10-14 16:07:57 UTC
Description of problem:
After I selected my keyboard layout in gnome (German layout) and login, the umlauts do not work, i.e. I do not have a German layout for the keyboard. Using system-config-keyboard works. I also do not have a German layout when I try to enter a custom username.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F10 Snap1 i686 live gdm

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot  F10 Snap1 i686 live
2. Select german keyboard
3. abort autologin and select other to get a textbox
4. press the key z or y
  
Actual results:
Users with a qwertz (German) keyboard, get a z if they press y and vice versa. Users with a qwerty keyboard get a z if they press z.

Expected results:
qwertz users should get the key displayed they press, qwerty users should get a z if they press a y and vice versa.

Additional info:
The keyboard layout selections seems not to match the system-config-keyboard layout selection list, which is irritating.

Please try again with current rawhide/the next snapshot.
I've fixed a problem with transferring the layout from the login screen to the session.

Comment 2 Till Maas 2008-10-14 19:55:58 UTC
Afaics there is no newer build for gdm than the one in Snap1: gdm-2.24.0-8.fc10

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2008-10-15 01:26:18 UTC
True. 
I've fixed the bug in gnome-settings-daemon.

Comment 4 Till Maas 2008-10-15 08:27:06 UTC
It seems that there were two bugs, with gnome-settings-daemon-2.24.0-13.fc10 the keyboard works as expected in the gdm textbox (see steps to Reproduce in the initial comment).

Here is the second issue, where the keyboard layout is not adjusted:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot  F10 Snap1 i686 live
2. Select german keyboard
3. login
4. Open a terminal (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal)
5. press the key z or y

Actual results:
Users with a qwertz (German) keyboard, get a z if they press y and vice versa.
Users with a qwerty keyboard get a z if they press z.

Expected results:
qwertz users should get the key displayed they press, qwerty users should get a
z if they press a y and vice versa.

It works with the F10 Preview i686 Live.
