Comment 67 for bug 112955

i can confirm that the XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE xstartup does NOT fix the problem with the lower 's' key being mapped to the shutdown button on the gnome desktop in 10.04 unbuntu. I have it installed on 6 systems 2 that were upgraded and 5 fresh installs 64 & 32 bit. I have the same problem Y Chow has if i use tightvncserver or vnc4server. I even compiled the latest tightvncserver and the same result. If i don't use gnome and just keep my xterm the mapping is fine. I have tried the gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts --type List --list-type String [aa] and that does not work. I also tried changing it manually in the broken session but that does not work. I have connected from redhat using vnc4viewer, tightvnc, and i have tried from windows using tightvnc, and realvnc. I am using the standard US keyboard with the US local.

If I can do anything to reslove this please let me know. This is a mission critical item where I may have to shift distributions if i cannot find a work around.
