[Bug 292338] [NEW] bluetooth keyboard oblivious to gnome keymap

[EvanCarroll]

Public bug reported:

This is one of the few bugs I've submitted and would list as being of a
high inconvenience to the user.

A keyboard that goes through bluez-* or any hidd interface seems to be
unaffected by keyboard layout, or charmaps.

All of these options are set in gnome through system, preferences,
keyboard preferences.

I use the English International Keyboard with AltGr dead keys.
I'm also using a Caps-lock to ctrl remap -and- Right Alt key to choose third level, and Shift + RightAlt key for MultiKey

Nothing works here, it is as if I was using a plain EN-US keymap. The
ctrl-key mapping also fails. In addition, the default gnome keymaps fail
as well. Such as Alt+f2 for the gnome-run dialog.

One keyboard (dell) plugged in through USB works as desired, while the
one going through bluez (apple wireless bluetooth aluminum) fails.

Please advice on any solution and progress on getting this fixed.

Thanks.
