[Bug 380377] Re: compiz-setting-manager key binding revert to QWERTY

[Jonas Kölker]

I use the dvorak keyboard layout, and this affects me too.

I've found a workaround: when your desktop is "up and running" and the
gnome start-up process has completed, restart compiz (from a terminal,
"compiz --replace &").

IINM (but I'm only ~60% certain), compiz doesn't get the keyboard layout
wrong every time it starts up.  My first-guess interpretation is that
there's a race condition somewhere.

My idea for a fix, if possible, is for compiz to listen for keyboard
remapping notifications and then un- and re-grabbing keys when that
happens.  (FWIW, ISTR there being this kind of notify-mask-flag in
xorg/xlib).  This should be relatively easy to implement.
