Seems like somebody upstream has a very strange perception of what is a
user - the Gnome developers?  The Ubuntu packagers?

I certainly never fooled around with a capplet (I don't even know what
it is?).  I simply am a *user* in that I want to *use* my keyboard
layout in a way that makes sense.  I merely want some monotony in the
behavior of my keyboard with respect to modifier keys, such as when 't'
maps to 'y', then I want Ctrl-t to map to Ctrl-y.  So Gtk can't even
handle this simple case of monotony?

I have no idea what was programmed, but it seems to me that such
monotony would be both easy (conceptually at least) and make much more
sense than mapping everything to the qwerty-layout (which it doesn't
even do: ctrl-s maps to ctrl-o, which is in fact dvorak behavior!).

Just why doesn't ctrl-'-' map to ctrl-z then (on my German keyboard, -
maps to z)?).  So the current behavior is neither qwerty behavior, nor
does it map dvorak correctly.

Whatever the *desired* behavior is, it probably can't be explained in an
easy enough sentence (like ctrl-KEY maps to
ctrl+(userKeyboardLayoutMapping(KEY)) or to ctrl+(qwertyMapping(KEY))),
and it is wrong either way.
