Description chrpinedo 2013-11-08 16:01:14 UTC
My KDE system is configured for Spanin (language, numbers, keyboard
layout, ...). However, when I remotely connect to KDE using krfb, I get
a US keyboard layout.

My current configuration of krfb is "Allow remote connections to control
your desktop" and "Allow uninvited connections". This problem is related
to univited connections, I haven't checked invited connections. I have
used several vnc clients (krdc and vnc4viewer) and I got the same
behaviour.

Regards,

Reproducible: Always

Similar problem:
krfb version 4.11.2 (Kubuntu 13.10) changes the status of my CapsLock indicator  - more precisely, now CapsLock needs to be "On" to get lower case letters, and "Off" to get upper case letters.

How do you start krfb?
If I start it automatically during the X11 session start, then the keyboard is wrong.
If I start it manually from a terminal after the X11 session start, then the keyboard is (almost) OK.
