Bug Description

When using plover in a KDE session with Dvorak as the global default keyboard layout, plover appears to use the software keyboard layout instead of the hardware layout, e.g., typing on the physical 'h' key inserts 'with ' instead of clearing the previous stroke, while pressing the physical 'j' (with maps to 'h' in Dvorak) clears the previous stroke; similarly for other keypresses. Switching the current layout to QWERTY results in straight QWERTY being sent to the active program--in other words, not being processed by plover. Switching the _default_ layout to QWERTY results in plover functioning as normal, but is quite inconvenient.

OS: Debian 7.0 (wheezy)
Plover version: latest source as of 2013/05/13 02:55 UTC.
