Frantisek:

You should check again the workaround with added setxkbmap to the GNOME session startup.
This should work. I think you mentioned above that it did not work for you, however I would like to insist on this.
Could you please describe all the steps you took to add the command in the sessions?
An alternative would be to write a script that looks like

--------------
#!/bin/sh

(sleep 5; /usr/bin/setxkbmap) &
--------------

and invoke that command in the sessions. What the command does is it sleeps for 5 seconds before running setxkbmap.

Mirza: In many cases there are some minor differences in applying commands, which cause the difference in results. I believe it is imperative to double-check the steps. I hope it clears out when Frantisek tries again.
