Description William Jon McCann 2008-03-07 22:14:13 UTC 
It would be good if we had some mechanism for detection and selection of keyboard layout.

patch to add a keyboard selector

Here is a patch that adds a keyboard layout selector to the greeter panel. 
The selected layout is stored in and initialized from .dmrc. And the layout
is passed into the session via a GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT envvar.

Things that left to do:

- fix up configury for libxklavier detection

- make the gnome-settings-daemon keyboard plugin pick up GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT

gnome-settings-daemon patch

...and here is the patch to make gnome-settings-daemon pick up the layout set on the login screen.

Should be fixed in trunk.
