The "bad boy" is my bluetooth keyboard (Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000). Starting KDM (or XDM is guess, haven't tried it yet) with only the BT keyboard connected triggers only the english qwerty keyboard layout. Now, connecting a USB keyboard switches the layout to german, but only after I have pressed a button on the USB keyboard. Just connecting it doesn't seem to work. Sometimes disconnecting the USB-keyboard changes the layout back to english, but this only happened 1 or 2 times from >10 logins to KDM. So this I cannot reproduce. The interesting question would be: Why does gdm recognizes the correct language of my BT keyboard? Maybe also interesting for you: I set up my BT keyboard with the help of KDEs Bluedevil. So, a very special setup I guess I have here. I reopened the bug. Nevertheless I am kind of used to it now, but maybe it is interesting for you to now that BT keyboards are a little bit bitchy. ;-) -- 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.

I didn't say that. Usually we don't add patches, which haven't been upstreamed yet. Otherwise you end up with no longer maintainable and partly broken sources. We don't want that.

But you didn't say the opposite either (and you haven't said if it's going to be included or not in your answer), hence my question, :D.
