Description of problem: The screen can be locked via that menu in the top right corner, however, the keyboard shortcut Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.2.1-1.fc15 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: Just press Ctrl+Alt+L (this is the default) or whatever is configured as the "Lock Screen" kbd shortcut in your system settings, Actual results: nothing happens. Expected results: well, the screen should be locked. Additional info: This behaviour is independent of the current kbd layout, just in case you notion.
Sorry, the description was a little incomplete. :) I meant: > Description of problem: > > The screen can be locked via that menu in the top right corner, however, the > keyboard shortcut does not do so.
I should add that this bug appears only when the preferred keyboard layout is non-US (in my case it was Russian). Might be related to Bug 708729 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708729), as GNOME's behaviour with multiple layouts in general is a little weird now.
think this happens with us-kb as well though i think when i tested it i did have multiple keyboards defined as you noted.
I have my system set for two keyboards: English (US) and English (international AltGR dead keys), and while I experienced problems several weeks ago, locking is now working fine, using either keyboard layout.

Not sure what fixed or when it but its currently working for me for the last week or so in F-15 with updates/updates-testing
Having reported this bug, I think I should mention that the 'lock screen' shortcut has been working to me (regardless of the current active layout, which is rather convenient) for some time; I'm not sure when it started working, but it seems to have been fixed along with similar (in my opinion, of course) issues like Bug 708729.
yay. fixed for me as well and still habe multiple keyboards defined. thanks :')
Closing as CURRENTRELEASE
