Comment 201 for bug 196277

Linux lukasz-laptop 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux, latest Hardy all the way the updates were offered.

Layouts used : Polish, Esperanto

Symptoms : Keyboard silently uses some different (looking at the description here, US) keyboard layout. The keyboard indicator applet shows the 'default' (in my case, Polish) layout being used.
Left-click on the keyboard indicator, changes the 'Pol' to 'Epo', and back, but no diacritics work.

When right-clicking on the keyboard indicator, select 'show current layout' shows nothing, i.e. empty window appears (all grey, no inner white frame).

This has manifested itself when I enabled automatic login. Without autologin, all worked well.

Executing setxkbmap command fixes this immediately :
- 'show current layout' works,
- diacritics work ąćęłńóśżź, ĉŝĝŭĵĥ.
