           Summary: advanced keyboard settings have no effect
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_keyboard
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: nisavid at gmail.com


Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

i enabled "Swap ESC and CapsLock" in "System Settings -> Input Devices ->
Keyboard -> Advanced -> Configure keyboard options".  this was working fine
until i switched my keyboard model (in "... -> Keyboard -> Hardware -> Keyboard
model") to "Apple | MacBook/MacBook Pro", which corresponds to the true model
of my primary keyboard.  after i did that, ESC and CapsLock were no longer
swapped, regardless of the keyboard i used, and (as a separate but seemingly
related issue) layout switching exhibited inconsistent behavior in various
applications.

changing the keyboard model setting back to "Generic | Evdev-managed keyboard"
provides a reliable workaround.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable "Swap ESC and CapsLock".
2. select keyboard model "Apple | MacBook/MacBook Pro".
3. press ESC.

Actual Results:  
the settings are set as desired, but pressing ESC triggers an ESC instead of
toggling CapsLock.

Expected Results:  
either one of:
  * pressing ESC should toggle CapsLock.
  * attempting to enable "Swap ESC and CapsLock" and "Apple | MacBook/MacBook
Pro" (and similarly failing combinations) together should be prevented in the
UI.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-23-generic
