Comment 22 for bug 173721

Now under Hardy beta, I'm having big problems with the keyboard layout. I have a german keyboard and use normally the layout with Sun dead keys. It worked well under gutsy. After updating the distro to hardy beta (a problematic process, it didn't complete successfully), my keyboard layout is all mixed up, I get strange characters instead of letters, although the keyboard layout manager still states the layout as being German with Sun dead keys. If I remove this layout and change to the normal german layout, I can type normal letters again. Then when I add the Sun dead keys layout and choose it as the default, it works well again, including 'ê'... until the next reboot, when I have to go through this same process again. The layout doesn't seem to get saved.
I'm not sure this is the right place for this lengthy text, but I now know that I'm not the kind of guy who should be trying a beta distribution :-). Let me know if you need more precisions, I'm not sure what file to enclose.
