Keyboard layout changes on applying updates!

[Ajay Gupta]

Hello All,

I have added the keyboard layout indicator on the top panel, because I 
had problems getting double and single quotes to work (type) in 
gnome-terminal. From various posts on the internet, I figured it was a 
problem with the keyboard layout. Initially, it showed USA. I clicked on 
it and it changed to USA2. Gnome-terminal started working properly.  A 
little while later the panel showed that updates are available for 
Ubuntu. I updated the system, only to find that after the updates were 
applied, the keyboard layout had changed back to USA. Quite expectedly, 
I could not type quotes at the gnome-terminal (the same terminal has 
been open all this while).

It seems that applying Ubuntu updates resets the keyboard layout 
settings. Is it not a bug? Is there a way to make it stay permanently as 
USA2 layout? (because that is what works for me).

Thanks in advance,
Ajay
