[Bug 1176819] Re: FR Keyboard layout not retained

[Harvey Partridge]

For this test I select à or @ and get 0. The à is selected without modifier keypress. In my defense, I do use @ more often than à ...
In each case, the display changes to qwerty, your diagnostics give ...

$ . kbtest
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     fr
variant:    latin9
xkb_keymap {
    xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)"    };
    xkb_types     { include "complete"    };
    xkb_compat    { include "complete"    };
    xkb_symbols   { include "pc+fr(latin9)+inet(evdev)"    };
    xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"    };
};

After  maybe 20  or 30 seconds the display does revert to azerty, but
the function does not.

 $ setxkbmap fr gives the correct à@ and has since been used to insert
the correct characters above. This fix should do me for a while - it is
much better than cat missing, select, copy and paste!
