Anja: I'd like to push a gdm and gnome-settings-daemon update for 11.1 (both
packages are in home:vuntz:11.1-testing right now). Is it possible to get a
swamp id?
The reason is that the gdm we have in 11.1 misdetects the configured system
keyboard layout. This causes the bug as described here, but the main issue is a
nasty side-effect: sometimes, an invalid keyboard layout is added to the user
configuration, and this can create an error dialog on each login. This will
also be an issue for users migrating their settings from 11.1 to 11.2 (I've
pushed the necessary fixes in factory, but having them in 11.1 too will help
mitigate the issue).
The .changes entry for gdm:
- Add gdm-use-sax-keyboard-map.patch (bnc#509920): use the correct
X layout when reading /etc/sysconfig/keyboard.
- Add gdm-keyboard-invalid-user-data.patch: the old gdm was not
setting a valid keyboard layout in some cases, and this invalid
layout ended up in ~/.dmrc. This patch makes gdm detect this and
revert the user data to the default layout.
The .changes entry for gnome-settings-daemon:
- Add gnome-settings-daemon-filter-invalid-xkb.patch: when the xkb
config from gconf can't be used, try to remove invalid xkb
layouts first before showing an error dialog. The old gdm used to
have invalid layouts.
