Comment 94 for bug 1246272

I've been running into this bug for months on a new notebook. At random times during my session, it changes the keyboard layout and I have to manually reset it.

I tried installing debian/testing on the same notebook, using a minimal install, then added Xorg and sawfish. No ibus packages, no GNOME packages, no display manager (startx + ~/.Xsession instead), but it does still have dconf because so many packages depend on it. The random keyboard layout switches still happen even in this minimal Debian configuration.

ibus was a problem before, because any time I typed too fast ibus would lock up and kill the app I was typing into... but getting rid of ibus fixed that. The layout issues are more resistant to investigation since I can't make it happen (or not happen) on purpose.
