Hi,

the Keyboard Layout switch does not work on Kubuntu Jaunty (9.04), the correct
layout is not set.

Setup:
- Kubuntu English default install
- Add French keyboard layout
- Switch to FR layout

Symptom:
- Press the letter A on the French keyboard correctly generates a A (Ok)
- Keyboard shortcut like CTRL+A will quit an application instead of doing
select all. So it is understood as CRTL+Q

Conclusion
I first believed this to be a bug in shorcuts but when I checked in system
settings, when you select the FR layout, what is actually done is:
setxkbmap -layout us,fr
when it should be
setxkbmap -layout fr,fr

I even do not understand how I can write in French with what the default comman
d, but still I tested and this fixes the shortcuts issues.
