Hello.

Another keyboard related issue :
Im using Ubuntu 10.04 with Compiz.
The keyboard base layout is US (qwerty) because of my girlfriend. When I'm using the computer I switch to FRA (azerty).
Under Inkscape 0.48, if I write a text, keys input the right characters (A key input a A). But as soon as I'm using a Ctrl combo, let's say Ctrl+A, Inkscape uses the US keyboard layout and issue a Ctrl+Q instead of a Ctrl+A.

So :
- When not using a modifier key, Inkscape uses the current keyboard layout defined by the window manager.
- When using a modifier key, Inkscape uses the keyboard layout the X system started with.

Actually, to avoid this problem I'm using another user account with FRA keyboard by default. But I'm reporting this issue anyway because I guess it's not working really the way it should.
