Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.22.2.1-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

I am running several Debian PCs. These have an 105-key International
keyboard with german layout. When logging in (per XDMCP) from a remote Sun Ray 2
with Sun keyboard, the keyboard layout is very faulty. For example, "g" is
"8", "z" is "Enter" and other weird things.

This is caused by the keyboard plugin of the gnome-settings-daemon. When I
disable that plugin (by removing the plugin file from
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-2.0), the keyboard layout is correct.

Regards
  Christoph
