Ubuntu 11.04 (natty)
Kernel 2.6.38-8-generic (#42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011)
Gnome 2.32.1 (Ubuntu 2011-04-14)
gnome-settings-daemon 2.32.1-0ubuntu13.1
Description: the keyboard layout settings, when changed to new defaults in a session, is not remembered across reboots. Upon reboot, it will revert back to the original defaults as if it had not registered/saved the changes in settings.
Originally, my purpose was to suppress the indicator by removing the additional keyboard layout that was added at installation. I really use only one layout: fr_CH and therefore I don't need this keyboard switch indicator in the tray. Behavior is normal when I suppress the unused keyboard by removing it using the indicator or control center: upon removing the unused keyboard, the indicator disappears from the tray and the layout is fr_CH fine. But when I reboot, these settings are not remembered, and I have to do this all over again in order for this indicator not to show up in the tray.
Notes:
- this bug appeared in Maverick
- other methods described for disabling the indicator (such as creating a disable key in gconf /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/ ) do not work or cure the problem.

Gnome 2.32.1 (Ubuntu 2011-04-14)
gnome-settings-daemon 2.32.1-0ubuntu13.1
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install ubuntu with certain layout, say (United States USA).
2) Add aditional layout via gnome-keyboard-properties (say United Kingdom United Kingdom)
3) Remove the original layout (i.e. United States USA)
4) Reboot
What happens:
After step 3), the layouts get changed as expected, but after step 4), the original layout is stil available and set as default in the keyboard indicator. (i.e. as if steps 2) and 3) were not executed)
What should happen:
The removal of the original layout should persist across reboots.
Not sure where this bug resides exactly (either gnome-settings-daemon or gnome-control-center that contains gnome-keyboard-properties).
Workaround:
1) Carry out steps 2) and 3) about.
2) Logout (or restart).
3) At the GDM greeter screen, choose your user. Once you do that, you'll see options at the bottom for accessibility etc. (note that you must set your user to require password to log in)
4) On that bottom strip, change your keyboard from <OLD ONE> , to "Other...". From the selection dialog, choose the new one you want to keep. It should match the one you kept from step 1).
5) Now when you finish the login process, you'll notice the keyboard indicator is gone. If you open up the Keyboard Preferences dialog, you'll only see one keyboard listed--the one you want. |
