Bug#524992: gnome-settings-daemon: Faulty keyboard layout when logging in from remote

[Christoph Pleger]

Hello,

The X server, which is a modified version of Xorg, runs on a Sun. No
xorg.conf is necessary and it does not exist.

> and what layout now appears in /etc/default/console-setup ?

console-setup neither is installed on the server nor on the client. Is
there any relationship between X and console-setup?

When I try to do that by starting gnome-keyboard-properties, I get an
error message:

"Unable to start gnome-settings-daemon"
