Description Matthias Clasen 2011-09-17 06:00:39 UTC 
Use a pkexec helper to write an xorg.conf fragment that
sets keyboard layouts. This is just a temporary hack until
keyboard layouts are supported in localed. It does not work
perfectly, since we get two separate policykit dialogs when
both keyboard layouts and LC_ variables are changed.

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2011-09-21 18:48:16 UTC 
Given that we missed out on GNOME 3.2 with that patch, we should probably hide the button to do that in the control-center in the meanwhile, right?
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2011-09-28 15:24:52 UTC 
Should be implemented using this:

Using systemd's SetX11Keyboard() method in localed. Disable
the functionality altogether if systemd is not found.

region: Implement copying layouts

Using systemd's SetX11Keyboard() method in localed. Disable
the functionality altogether if systemd is not found.

This version supports multiple keyboard layouts by passing comma
separated layouts, as supported by X11.
Comment 6 Bastien Nocera 2011-09-29 16:48:27 UTC 
Will commit when systemd handles the multiple X11 layouts to vconsole conversion:
