Bug Description

I'm using an up-to-date Upbuntu Precise 12.04 development build.

My /etc/default/keyboard XKBOPTIONS are not applied in X. They are still correct outside X.

The option I use is "ctrl:nocaps".

I'm using kubuntu 12.04.

/etc/default/keyboard

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
XKBVARIANT="winkeys,winkeys"
XKBOPTIONS="grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps"

ignored by system while loading desktop. It seems that there was broken the call of setxkbmap: manual call (or the same in Autoload script)

setxkbmap "us,ru(winkeys)" -option grp_led:caps,grp:caps_toggle

makes it work
