After adding some keyboards as input source and selecting one in the list of input sources, clicking on the keyboard icon a the bottom right does nothing. See screen shot.
Created attachment 717464 [details] keyboard-icon-displays-keyboard-layout-in-gnome-control-center-region-in-rawhide.png Screen shot from “gnome-control-center region” in rawhide showing that a keybord layout is graphically displayed when clicking that button.
FWIW I managed to display US layout from g-i-s in German today but I haven't tried with other layout/language combinations.
Keyboard layout preview is not working for me in F19 alpha gnome-control-center. So maybe this is a control-center bug? control-center-3.8.0-3.fc19 I will retest in gnome-initial-setup next time I do an install.
I still see the problem on Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso. ionice -c 3 qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -m 2048M -smp 4 -drive file=./Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=unsafe -localtime -serial file:/tmp/qemu-Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2-output.log -name Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2 -cdrom /local/mfabian/iso/Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3/Fedora-19-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso -boot c -spice port=6000,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -display vnc=:4 -net nic -net user,hostname=Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,hostfwd=tcp::5560-:22 -monitor stdio -usb - Select Japanese - Select to install on whole disk - Select Timezone - Select default Gnome install - continue with installation after the first reboot, gnome-initial-setup shows up After selecting the language there, one can add input sources. Only question marks are shown because of bug#949525. But one can search for “(US” and get ?? (US) as a match (which is the English (US) keyboard layout)). Select that. Then click on the keyboard icon at the lower right. Nothing happens, no keyboard is displayed.

It does not work for me either in gnome-control-center. After continuing the Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso install from comment#5 until the gnome session is reached, I start gnome-control-center region select the keyboard which I added before in gnome-initial-setup (now displayed correctly as “英語 (US)) and try to click the keyboard icon at the bottom right. Nothing happens here either.
Does running gkbd-keyboard-display -l us or gkbd-keyboard-display -l de manually work ?
Okay the problem seems to be that libgnomekbd is not installed by default.
Maybe the preview button should also be disabled if gkbd-keyboard-display is not available.
control-center now has an explicit requires for /usr/bin/gkbd-keyboard-display
