Summary: RFE: support reloading Xmodmap
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: Unspecified
OS/Version: Unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: unspecified
Component: ibus
AssignedTo: tfujiwar(a)redhat.com

Description of problem:
When a keyboard layout is changed with gnome-settings-daemon, ~/.Xmodmap is
automatically re-applied through libgnomekbd. cf.
http://blogs.gnome.org/sudaltsov/2010/10/13/xmodmap-and-gnome/
http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgnomekbd/tree/libgnomekbd/gkbd-keyboard-co...
However, with ibus-xkb, that file is ignored and the previous Xmodmap setting
is cleared each time when I switch between XKB engines.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-1.4.0-6.fc16.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
(with the default Japanese installation of F16 RC2)
1. put the following content in ~/.Xmodmap
keycode 49 = Escape
2. xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
3. run xev and type Zenkaku_Hankaku key
4. select Thai XKB engine from the IME menu, then back to Japanese XKB engine
5. run xev and type Zenkaku_Hankaku key
Actual results:
xev reports "keycode 49 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape)" on step 3, and "keycode
49
(keysym 0xff2a, Zenkaku_Hankaku)" on step 5.
Expected results:
xev should report "keycode 49 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape)" on both step 3 and 5.
Additional info:
This feature would be important on Japanese desktop, since quite a few people
map Zenkaku_Hankaku to Escape.
