I'm also running into this regression on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.10. I use two keyboard layouts, "dvorak" and "us".
* In the screensaver unlock dialog, switching the keyboard layout correctly updates the layout indicator (using both mouse clicks and the group toggle shortcut), but the switch doesn't actually take effect: the password input is processed according to the primary layout. * As an experiment, i tried switching to the secondary layout before activating the screensaver, to see if it changes the behavior, but it doesn't seem to: the dialog still "locks" into the primary layout, rather than the secondary. ** Also affects: gnome-screensaver via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662992 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872701 Title: Keyboard layout doesn't change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screensaver/+bug/872701/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
