[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#638898: xfce4-xkb-plugin: Second keyboard layout removed after a while, have to keep resetting it

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: xfce4-xkb-plugin
Version: 0.5.4.3-1+b1
Followup-For: Bug #638898

FWIW

it is REALLY annoying and pretty much rendering this plugin unusable... 
having workaround is good but I wish it could be really fixed for the wheezy...
checked upstream git and I guess resolution boiled down to

    Remove configuration of keyboard layouts.
    
    Keyboard layouts are moved to xfce4-keyboard-settings.
    The management of layouts per application/window
    is still handled by this plugin.
    
    Compose key configuration is gone for now; might get reinstated
    in xfce4-keyboard-settings.
    
    This fixes bug 5476 (together with a corresponding commit
    to xfce4-settings).


unfortunately changes in xfce4-settings were not as atomic and there is a
series of related commits (if I got it right).

But I guess someone could consider this issue 'fixed-upstream'
