Title:
  XTestFakeKeyEvent changes keyboard mapping to 'us'

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Typing with the onscreen keyboard Onboard on a system with German
  default layout immediately switches the keyboard layout to 'English
  (US)'. Touching any key on a physical keyboard switches back to the
  German default. This can be repeated indefinitely.

  Onboard uses XTestFakeKeyEvent to send key events. When switching from
  a physical keyboard to Onboard, the first call to this function leads
  to an unwanted MappingNotify event and the keyboard map changes from
  'pc+de+inet(evdev)', 'German' to 'pc+us+inet(evdev)', 'English (US)'.
  Pressing any key on an attached USB keyboard switches back to
  'pc+de+inet(evdev)', 'German'.

  Running any of the following temporarily fixes  the problem for the current session:
  $ setxkbmap de
  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

  Restarting X brings back the unwanted layout switches.
