I've been having problems with remembering my preferd KB for a long time. It resets on every relog. If that is part of your problem Thomas.

I did setup (1) Japanese KB + (2) German (querty) KB switching is set to "Alt+shift". If I set it, it works ONCE. But as soon as I touch the KB icon or switch between Japanese "alphanumeric" input and "character" input, the switching fails and the German KB indicator disappears. If I set the switching anew to "Alt+shift", or anything else, if will work (again) once - as long as I do not touch the KB icon. I also tried to change the "type of keyboard" to several forms available from a list as well as about any setting I could find. No change. This is really idiotic and I have spend already many hours is trying to fix it. Is there no way to make Linux remember that shortcut??? On a Mouse computer with exactly the same system installed, it "somehow" works. (having "only" the glitch, that the icon indicating alphanumeric/Jap. character input does never change, even though the input method changes) Thank you.

I hate to say this, but under Windows this is: select KB, select switch key, click OK. FINISH I refuse to believe, that nobody else has any problems switching keyboard layouts. AND I refuse to believe, that there is no information at all on this problem, but so far nobody on any list or forum as ever responded. -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
