Gnome US Keyboard always appearing

Hi,

Since last upgrde to Gnome 2.28 (x86_64 version), I've been having problems with my macbook keyboard under Gnome. when I get into the keyboard settings an US layout appears, which I never set, so I delete it again to leave the spanish keyboard alone again.

When I restart the computer, the US keyboard appears again.

Is this a bug? Or Have I misconfigured something?

Here's my xorg.con keyboard section:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard0"
    Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
    Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option      "XkbLayout" "es"
    Option      "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch,apple:badmap"
    Option      "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" 
    Option      "XkbVariant" "mac"
EndSection

Have anyone else met this problem?

Re: Gnome US Keyboard always appearing

Try the following:

cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi

Then edit the "input.xkb.layout" key like this:

<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">es</merge>

You can also run the setxkbmap command:

setxkbmap es

And then add it to .xinitrc on your home folder.

That config should probably go in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/* but there is a bug open about this (as well as discussion in this forum).

Re: Gnome US Keyboard always appearing

I have the same problem, I use USA and GR layouts but as of a recent update a GBr layout appeared.
my .fdi has the following line:

<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,el</merge>

the only option related with something british is in my locale.gen

en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
