Description James Cook 2009-04-02 19:33:28 UTC 
I'm using a Dvorak keyboard layout.  When I press CTRL-L in gnome-terminal, the program in the terminal recieves a CTRL-P (Dvorak puts the L key where Qwerty puts the P key).  The same thing seems to happen for every other CTRL-key combination.

A strange thing I just noticed: I have Shift+Ctrl+T bound to "Open Tab".  Both Qwerty's and Dvorak's T key seem to work for this command; same for other key bindings.

I set the keyboard layout to Dvorak using the "Keyboard Preferences" program; I'm not sure whether that's part of Gnome or specific to Debian.  X11 is configured to use Qwerty by default.

I'm using:
gnome-terminal 2.22.3
Gnome 2.22.3 (distributed by Debian)
