It turns out the majority of the problems are traced down to being bugs in libxklavier or the keyboard applet itself. I really wish the GNOME developers (or at least the Red hat package maintainer) would remove this erroneous error message. Reassigning to gnome-applets for diagnosis. The problem persists in F11. xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "nodeadkeys", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "nodeadkeys", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" ============================================================================ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [] overrideSettings = false options = [] model = pc101 I got rid from the problem by re-changing my keyboard controls using System->preferences-keyboard to Germany-no-deadkeys. Fixed by going to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts and selecting "Reset to Defaults" and changing settings again. Maybe changing "Keyboard model" to "Evdev-managed keyboard" would help, too. Had the problem on an F10->F11 upgrade.
"Reset to defaults" didn't fix it for me, but going to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard and adding the same layout ("United Kingdom") as I already had, and then deleting the original (now duplicate) in the list fixed it.
My original (broken) output:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "gb", "", ""
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = [uk]
options = []
model = evdev
After I fiddled with it and it worked:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "gb", "", "grp:shift_caps_toggle"
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = [gb]
options = [grp grp:shift_caps_toggle]
