Bug 260912

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

I use "Application" keyboard layout switching policy.  It works normally, except when locking screen.  As screen locker is a separate application (or at least looks so from user's perspective), it should have its own active layout and it shouldn't depend on whatever application was focused before locking the screen.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Enable at least 2 keyboard layout and choose "Application" switching policy;
- have e.g. Firefox focused;
- make sure Russian (not the default) layout is active;
- lock the screen;
- observe that Russian layout is still active.

Actual Results:  
Russian layout is still active

Expected Results:  
English (the default) layout is active.

This bug is annoying because in the screen locker I need to enter the password which obviously requires having the correct layout active.

Additional problem is that layout switching shortcut (customized to Win+space here) ceases working in screen locker.  I guess this might be related to shortcuts' not working in popups.
