Description

Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838373 and similar reports suggest that the issue of keyboard settings (layouts) being lost is already fixed.

But it isn't in my case.

Here are a couple of reproducers: 0) except from US English, setup another keyboard (Czech qwerty in my case)

A) change keyboard manually by `setxkbmap'. All settings are gone.

B) Disconnect / Reconnect a USB hub with keyboard, mouse and USB stick attached.

C) Connect the same keyboard to a different USB port

While the recent update has fixed the crashes and when being extra careful it helps, it's still a great issue on notebook which get connected / disconnected seeveral times per day.

Version: xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.5.6-1.fc18.x86_64 (Fedora 18)

Version: 0.5.6
