keyboard layouts still buggy
 

Just installed 12.04. Works fine. But the xfce4-xkb-plugin still does
not do its job correctly. If you change the layout option or compose key
position, and after logging out and in, you'll have to do it all over again.
Why is such software not simply removed as long as it does not work?
I finally solved it by doing:

xmodmap
-e 'keycode 66 = Mode_switch Caps_Lock Mode_switch Caps_Lock'
-e 'keycode 135 = Multi_key Multi_key Multi_key Multi_key'

in my .bashrc file

Does changing the keyboard layout under 'Keyboard' in the xfce settings
manager have any effect?

I have two layouts: us,euro and us,intl. That setting seems to be stable
between sessions. The other settings:
- Compose key position (which I want at Menu) and
- Change layout option (which I want at Caps Lock (while pressed)...)
disappear mostly (but not always) between sessions.

When you logout, try seeing if checking the box 'Automatically save
session on logout' under Xfce Settings>Session and startup makes it any
better. This should preserve programs between sessions.

reopen after login...
