Summary: Weird characters after changing keyboards
Product: Xfce Panel Plugins
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC (x86_64)
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Medium
Component: xkb
AssignedTo: goodies-dev at xfce.org
ReportedBy: markpolo at gmail.com
I have up to now used only Gnome, and was just trying out Xfce. When I tried to
use the xkb panel, it gave me only the options of German and English, with no
option to add more (but maybe that's hidden somewhere...).
However, the US-English option had the normal German keyboard (which is my
default keyboard in Gnome), and when I tried to select the German keyboard, I
got a weird "special characters" mode, as though I had the AltGr key pressed --
i.e. »đ¢€ instead of xfce.
This may be something deeper, however, as I also tried setxkbmap la (to use a
home-brewed Ancient Latin keyboard), but this gave me some sort of Hindi or
other eastern font, where in Gnome it allows me to type ā ē and such using the
AltGr key.
I am on Fedora 9. Package versions: xorg-x11-xkb-utils-7.2-4,
xfce-xkb-plugin-0.4.3-4, libxkbfile-1.0.4-5
