[Bug 460328] [NEW] Wrong keyboard settings when console-settings has multiple layouts

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Situation:
two layouts - US (default), Ru (second) 
Configuration was set up by sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Wrong behavior #1: 
if I press "set defaults" in gnome-keyboard-properties, gconf keys are set to default values: 
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts is [] empty - this is ok, because layouts are then taken from console-setup
Everything works until reboot or restart of gnome-settings-daemon:
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts is then set to [us] only! so it needs to be reconfigured every time.

Wrong behavior #1a: 
if I press "set defaults", then
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/defaultGroup is set to -1, but default layout radiobutton in g-k-p dialog is still visible as set, which is incorrect and confusing.

Wrong behavior #2:
If keyboard settings are set explicitly in gnome:
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts is set to [us	,ru]
then again everything works fine, but again only until reboot or restart of gnome-settings-daemon:
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts is set to [us	,ru,us] - second us layout appears out of nowhere.
It happens because first "us" is followed by tab symbol: "	" so instead of [us,ru] it sets [us	,ru] and upon gnome-settings-daemon start the second, but correct "us" is added.
