GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 569554
Having multiple keymaps causes both Ctrl-A and Ctrl-Q to be mapped to Select All

Having an azerty keymap defined in /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts, as wel as a qwerty keymap causes both Ctrl-A and Ctrl-Q to be mapped to Select All. Therefore, Ctrl-Q no longer acts as Quit in most applications. Similarly, Ctrl-W becomes mapped to Undo, rather than close. This can be reproduced in gedit by setting the gconf key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts to [fr,us]. Tested in Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora Core RawHide as of today. So this will probably occur in SVN as well. Expected result is well, having working close & quit shortcuts. Seems like each map is processed, rather than just the active one.
