            Bug ID: 346336
           Summary: keyboard options keep un-applying, but config GUI
                    shows them still set
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: peter at cordes.ca

I'm on Kubuntu 15.04, with kwin and other kde packages version
4:5.2.2a-0ubuntu1.  That didn't seem to be an option in the "Version" box.

In System Settings ->  Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Advanced, I have
"Caps Lock -> Make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl" enabled (like any sane person
that uses emacslike keybindinds in anything).

This worked fine, exactly like setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps, except that it
occasionally goes back to the default layout on its own, while I'm using the
system.  I didn't log out, suspend, plug in any USB devices, or do anything
that would explain this. The settings GUI still has the box checked.
Unchecking/rechecking and clicking "apply" enables it again.

repeat delay/rate customization is also lost, so I have to xset r rate 250 35
again.

I even unset the keybind for "switch keyboard layout", but it still happens
maybe once per 2 hours. I haven't detected a pattern yet in what I'm doing.

Old cruft in /etc or my home directory is not a possibility: I did a fresh
install of Kubuntu, and moved aside all my dotfiles in my home directory before
logging in to KDE for the first time. (And then cherry-picked a few, like
.bash*, .less*, but not .kde, .config, .local, or .cache).


Reproducible: Always
