Hi, If the keyboard layout is set using localectl, then a keyboard sources menu should be displayed in some desktop environments. This works for gnome-shell and mate-panel but not for gnome-panel - at least not for me in Arch. I don't know whether that's a gnome-panel packaging error on my part or whether it's a bug with gnome-panel itself. Either way, if this were working, I think it would be a decent solution for the problem you describe. Regards On 18/02/15 07:30, Dmitry Shachnev

Hi all, As Debian 8 is now shipping new gnome-flashback session, I get lots of bugreports from users complaining that there is no way to switch / display keyboard layout. Is there something I can suggest to those users? So far the only thing I have in mind is what is suggested in https://bugs.debian.org/778569, i.e. using plain old setxkbmap for handling layout switch shortcut, and a third-party applet like (g)xneur for displaying it. Are there better ways? -- Dmitry Shachnev |
