Comment 16 for bug 204202

On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala), the bug is still here, only in gnome-terminal (and not in any other gtk or gnome app).

My setup
=======
A laptop with a Swiss French keyboard. At work, I connect a Dvorak keyboard to it. So I'm using a Swiss French layout at home and a Dvorak layout at work on the same machine.

Summary
=======
Gnome-Terminal ignore the keyboard layout in use for its keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts will always use the default layout.

How to reproduce
==============
- In Gnome keyboard preferences, add an "exotic" layout (like a Dvorak one) in addition to a classic one. We will imply that the "classic" layout is the default one.
- Open a gnome-terminal and type some text. Then hit Ctrl+c. It should work as expected (you should see a new command prompt line).
- Switch to the "exotic" layout and type some text. You can see that the new layout is active. Now try to hit Ctrl+c in your new layout. It won't work.
- Still using "exotic" layout, if you hit Ctrl+[key corresponding to the c key in the classic layout], it will work.
- Test it with other keyboard shortcuts. You encounter the same behavior.
- Now make your exotic layout the default one (see the solution in #15). All keyboard shortcuts will work using the exotic layout, and no longer using the classic layout.
- Open another GTK or Gnome app (like The GIMP). You will see that keyboard shortcuts will work as expected instead of ignoring the current keyboard layout.

Solution to implement
=================
If one is currently using another keyboard layout than the default one, Gnome Terminal should use it for keyboard shortcuts too.
