           Summary: Shortcuts don't follow the good keyboard layout.
           Product: Xfce
           Version: unknown
          Platform: PC (x86)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: hebus95 at yahoo.fr


System configuration:
Xubuntu 8.04 on x86 with XFCE 4.6
Azerty keyboard layout (layout="fr", variant="oss")

Affected components:
Not sure. Probably xfce4-settings-helper
Shortcuts configured either from xfce4-keyboard-settings or xfwm4-settings are
concerned.

Affected versions:
All stable versions since XFCE 4.2

Description of the bug :
** Overview **
On my computer with a french keyboard = "azerty", keyboard shortcuts act as if
they were following a "qwerty" keyboard layout.
In other words, in order to trigger the shortcut expressed as <Super>a in the
shortcut editor, I have to press <Super>q. The problem can be noticed for all
non common keys between azerty and qwerty layout (ie for the letters : a, q, m,
n, z and w but not e, r, t, y ...).

** Related observations **
1) When adding new shortcuts in xfce4-keyboard-settings or xfwm4-settings, keys
are "recorded" correctly: pressing <Super>a will effectively records <Super>a.
However, as explained previously, this new shortcut won't work if the key used
is one of (a, q, m, n, z or w)

2) Closing the session and starting the session again, makes the shortcuts
working correctly. However a reboot of the system won't do anything. 

3) Killing xfce4-settings-helper and then running it again, makes the shortcuts
working correctly.
