Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
I use a laptop with Ubuntu 8.10, and has configured two keyboard layouts. I use "USA" as the default layout and "Sweden" as an alternative layout, and use <CapsLock> for changing layout.

When I plug in an USB keyboard it should still be possible to change between the default and alternative layout with <CapsLock> or using the applet menu. The default and any alternative layout should user configurable, i.e. it should not restore system default values when an USB keyboard is attached.

When I plug in an USB keyboard after logging in to Ubuntu, it resets the keyboard layout (and probably other keyboard settings as well) to the system default layout which is stored in /etc/default/

gnome-control- center only store the default layout and not the alternative layout in /etc/default/ console- setup when applying keyboard changes system wide.
