Bug Description
Binary package hint: console-setup
How to reproduce:
a) With hardy alpha 6 live desktop cd, select Greek/"Ελληνικά", from the F2 menu.
b) When gnome loads, there is only the Greek keyboard layout configured. No latin layout is configured. This makes using the web browser and ubiquity impossible for the normal users. One would have to go and add manually a us layout and a switch keyboard shortcut in order to be able to do the installation or use the live cd.
c) scim is loaded, even if it's not needed for the Greek language
How it should work:
a) User selects Greek/"Ελληνικά", from the F2 menu at boot.
b) When system loads, gnome is configured with a DEFAULT us layout and also a non-default greek layout.
c) User should be able to switch layouts with the Shift+Alt shortcut by default.
d) no scim
I confirm this bug. It can be reproduced by booting hardy alpha 6 live desktop cd and selecting Greek/"Ελληνικά", from the F2 menu. It is rather frustrating to not be able to switch to latin keyboard, as one can not use terminal web browser and other apps that need latin input, unless he add the English layout from keyboard preferences.
