Hi,
I use a German keyboard on all of my machines. Once or twice a year a
bug comes along in Fedora that breaks that and I'm stuck with an
American keyboard and system-config-keyboard to change it back again.
This time the bug is on resume from suspend *
I'd like to know if other people have the same recurring problem since
this is the kind of thing that is hard to track in bugzilla across
different bugs.
It would also be interesting to see why this is specific to Fedora. Does
Fedora receive enough testing before a change is pushed from people who
are not using the standard US-American keyboard layout?
Thanks.

I don't think this is country specific. I had a similar problem when I
switched from US qwerty to US dvorak. Fedora was thinking I was using
Arabic keyboard everytime I reboot and I had to use
system-config-keyboard. Then I discovered an .rpmnew file in /etc
(sorry I forgot what it was but it was about layouts). I guess that an
old configuration file was kept in /etc when the keyboard layout
software (what is it?) got updated, and the old configuration file was
not compatible with the new software. I wish this was tested before it
gets pushed to stable.
I am just telling in case it might give you an idea, or inspiration...
