Description Francis J. Lacoste 2009-06-12 15:47:36 UTC 
Version:           1.0 (using 4.2.90 (KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-11-generic

I am unable to set my keyboard layout using the KDE system-settings module.

I select the 'Canadian' layout and the Command section shows: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout ca -variant 

Using that command fails because the -variant option shouldn't be use:
No layout variant specified on the command line
Trailing -variant option ignored

The end result is that the keyboard is in a very weird layout state.

Using setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout ca in a konsole fixes the issue.

This is fixed in 4.5. I am not sure if I have time to fix it in 4.4, but I'll take a look when I can.
