gnome-settings-daemon-2.26.1-4.fc11
control-center-2.26.0-6.fc11
These three packages handle xkb configuration, and used the
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP root property to obtain the 'initial' X
configuration. Due to our more dynamic Xinput landscape, that property
ends up being wrong more often than right nowadays. The change in these
builds is to to look at _XKB_RULES_NAMES instead, which is more reliable,
but still not technically correct. A correct solution would use device
properties and will arrive with Xi2 in F12.
The concrete bug fixed by these properties is the following:
1. Configure your system keyboard layout to be e.g. German
2. Notice German layout on the login screen
3. Log into a fresh account
3. See that despite the German layout on the login screen, the session has
'us' as the initial keyboard layout
See

background.
