OK, true. YaST sets the keyboard layout found in config file (YAST_KEYBOARD of
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard) right on start.
Hard to tell if it is incorrect: it has to be present there from the start so
the Test entry can work.
I understand that it causes extra problem in your case, when you have your own
keyboard layout. First, we do not cover all keyboard layouts, like you reported
elsewhere. I hope I can address this in feature 309487 and find a good solution
for 12.2.
Second, it's probably wrong to even call YaST keyboard in your desktop
environment, because it does not have knowledge of its settings. (I guess the
new keyboard layout (french) would work after you'd restart your X session.)
YaST's primary task is during installation and later it's recommended to use
your own desktop setting tool for keyboard. We've actually had it already
removed from desktop earlier, but some users demanded it back.
So. For now, I think the correct advice is to not use YaST keyboard in desktop
environment. The other issues should hopefully get addressed in
https://features.opensuse.org/309487 for 12.2. Is it enough?
