Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
In Hardy Alpha 1, Gnome's keyboard Layout Options control panel (found on the Layouts tab of Keyboard Preferences) applies changes to the current session, but these changes are not reapplied after I reboot or logout/login again. This worked correctly on Gutsy.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Keyboard Preferences -> Layouts tab -> Layout options...
2. Under "Ctrl key position" choose "Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl"
3. Close the control panel and observe that CapsLock now acts as Ctrl
4. Reboot and log in again.
5. Observe that the setting change is no longer in effect (CapsLock does not act as Ctrl). To restore it, I need to open up the Layout Options control panel and choose that setting again, even though it already appears to be selected.

Thanks for your report, that works fine in my installation, does that works with another new user?
