Cannot select any keyboard option on LXKeymap

[Angelos Vlassopoulos]

When I am at profiles, I create a second group and then I press "Options" in order to select Keys to change layout.

None of the checkboxes is selectible. The option is highlighted, but you cannot check the box.

This regards LXKeymap 0.7.99

This is actually a wired bug as internally (when you start it from the terminal) you will see that the box are checked. So that the one box that you want to check to switch between keyboard layouts is checked on clicked and the keyboard combination activated.
The visual output is just missing.
It could be a GTK drawing bug.

when run from console, it yields the following error-messages:

/usr/bin/lxkeymap:340: Warning: unable to set property `activatable' of type `gboolean' from value of type `gchararray'
  self.option_window.show_all()
/usr/bin/lxkeymap:645: Warning: unable to set property `activatable' of type `gboolean' from value of type `gchararray'
  gtk.main()

Attached patch should hopefully fix displaying checkboxes.

Thanks again for another patch :)
This fixes the flaw.
Fixed in revision 21.

How do you install this patch? Is there some beta version of lxkeymap I can apt-get or do I have to hack around to get it to work?

[Leszek Lesner (leszek-lesner)]

Marthin you need to download the source with
bzr branch lp:lxkeymap
As it is written in python executing the binary in bin is everything you need to do.

For deb packages please ask the lxkeymap deb maintainer(s). Btw. also ask further questions in the Questions & Answers section as this bug tracker is no service support area.
