- Click Close button
=> Keyboard Indicator applet won't appear on the panel.
- Try adding one more time.

Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?

Comment 1 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-12-28 23:32:57 UTC

Is fiesty using gnome 2.16 or gnome 2.17?

The service org.gnome....Registry should be provided by the gnome-settings-daemon. Is it running? Does it provide the service?

Could you please try this script:

objname=KeyboardConfigRegistry
method=GetCurrentDescriptionsAsUtf8

dbus-send --session \
          --dest=org.gnome.$objname \
          --type=method_call \
          --print-reply \
          --reply-timeout=20000 \
          /org/gnome/$objname \
          org.gnome.$objname.$method

Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2006-12-29 10:43:47 UTC

GNOME 2.17, there is no tarball for gnome-applets which has been rolled yet. gnome-settings-daemon 2.17.4 is running, there is no service for KeyboardConfigRegistry though, what tarball is supposed to ship it?

Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-12-29 12:00:35 UTC

Again, same version skew - using g-a 2.16 with g-s-d 2.17
