Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

During installation I selected the alternative international keyboard. The problem with this keyboard that a double-quote character doesn't get typed until a space is pressed. Same for tilde (~) and single quote (').

I cannot get this keyboard removed. I tried to click on my keyboard applet, selecting keyboard preferences, removing the alternative keyboard. But every time I restart, the alternative keyboard is back again.

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

The problem here is that if you are logged in via gdm with the alternative international keyboard set, you cannot remove it.

This is not reflected in the user interface that enables the user to remove this keyboard.

Either the user interface must be changed so your set keyboard cannot be removed when logged in (and optionally a message should be displayed that you should first logout and use a different keyboard), or it should be possible to remove this keyboard without having to log out.
