hmm, if I look into my KDE menu I find two menu entries: changing keyboard and changing system keyboard.
I only can find "Keyboard KDE Control Module" on my openSUSE 12.3. Apparently it can only change the user's keyboard settings. Changing the system keyboard layout would also require root access.
KDE doesn't seem to have an option to change the keyboard language as long as you don't start the keyboard switcher.
Seems so, yes. But according to this bugreport the user never touched this keyboard switcher configuration. Still KDE apparently saved the previous keyboard setting ("us") and restores it with every new Xsession although YaST now has X configured to use "de".
So if you want to change the KDE keyboard switcher, change the default there. If not, the system keyboard is still the right thing to do.
I'd go for INVALID here too. That KDE's keyboard language switcher is out of control of yast is something not too obvious, but hardly a bug IMO.
Maybe we should make sure, that our desktops (KDE, GNOME, xfce, lxde, ...) come with a keyboard config system, which simply adopt the system keyboard layout (without saving the system setting as configured). That way you could change the system keyboard layout via YaST later and it will get active for all users, who didn't configure it explicitely with the desktop's keyboard config tool. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
