hi,
I installed fedora 19 desktop edition and am having some trouble with
the keyboard layout (in the standard gnome3 shell).
What I need is this layout:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc104
layout: us
variant: intl
options: kpdl:kposs
but what I get is:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc104
layout: us
options: kpdl:kposs
Using dconf-editor edit org.gnome.desktop.input-sources "sources", change:
('xkb', 'us')
to:
('xkb', 'us+intl')
I have tried adding an autostart file in $HOMEDIR/.config/autostart
like this:
$ cat set_us_intl_keyboard.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=set us intl keyboard layout
Comment=set us intl keyboard layout
Exec=setxkbmap us -variant intl
but every time I need to run the command manually because the settings
are not applied.
It could be a race condition, i.e. the system kb layout settings are
set after the command in the .desktop file is executed and system
settings are overriding it.
