[lucid] indicator applet displays Keyboard layout

[Jeff Lane ]

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

Maybe not so much a bug as an annoyance...

Installed Lucid from the daily build as of 24 March. After logging in post-install I noticed that indicator-applet said USA.

Turns out it's displaying the keyboard layout.

This is a minor annoyance as it eats up some of the real-estate on the bar that really shouldn't be used for this.

Are there really enough people in the world who constantly change keyboard layouts that they need this displayed by default?

See screenshots attached.

The layout indicator is only displayed if you have multiple layouts configured, so it isn't shown for anyone who uses a single layout. In your case, it seems that your configuration is broken though, which isn't really a bug in g-s-d

Could you please post the output of "gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals"?

Thanks

There is a request to be able to hide the icon when multiple layouts are used (bug 519372)

Also, I don't believe I'm using multiple layouts... or at least, i did not choose to do so. This is a test install, and I chose all defaults all the way through.

So the DEFAULT gives me apparently multiple layouts then?
