Hi,
i've been using arch+gnome for about a year now, but since the last gnome-upgrade some weeks ago, my keyboard settings are overwritten every time I start gnome.
I can easily change them back using the gnome-keyboard-properties, but I have to do this after every reboot, the default en_us layout is always re-added.
Does this have something to do with wrong permissions to permanently change the layout? I just created a new user, and he too can't change his keyboard settings permanently.
I'm using a xorg.conf generated by nvidia-xconfig, but it only contains
*snip*
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
*snip*I'm not using [testing], just kernel 2.6.32. xorg-server 1.7.3.901-1, nvidia-beta 195.22-4
Any help would be gladly appreciated
*edit*:
I just noticed the layout is set correctly using startx, skipping gdm, so it's probably gdm related

I can confirm the same behaviour
Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

You can choose your keyboard layout in the login manager GDM in the footer after selecting your user. The setting is kept for the next logins.

Thanks Simon04, I think this should work... gdm overriding gnome's keyboard layout is strange though.
