"Binary package hint: sabayon

Hi,

I'am a French user, my system use French keyboard layout. It would be cool if when I edit a profile, the keyboard layout in Xnest follow the layout of my current session.

1. Have French keybord layout
2. start sabayon, create a profile, and edit (lauch Xnest)
3. open a terminal/text editor, type some chars that change between ketboard layout.

I get an English keybord in Xnest and a French one in my current session.

But what if the user profile wants to have another keyboard layout? :)  This is indeed a usability problem for the system administrator, and I'm not sure how to fix things with Xnest.

This is *somewhat* related to "enforce mandatory".  We may want to replace that by having "preview" and "edit" modes --- in Preview, the child session would act just as it would for a normal user (with its own keyboard layout and mandatory settings applied), and in Edit it would be for the sysadmin to tweak freely.

See also bug #576447 for a non-working keyboard in general.
Comment 3 Scott Balneaves 2009-12-16 03:21:35 UTC 
Did the move to Xephyr fix this?  Please try a version newer than 2.28 or so, (the current version, 2.29.2 would be ideal), and let us know.
