I've got:
9.04 Jaunty Jackalope 64 bit, running compiz (but that shouldn't matter, should it?)
In Keyboard Preferences:
Separate layout for each window unchecked (and exactly as I want it)
3 keyboard layouts, in the order I have now:
1) Italian
2) Dvorak International
3) Left Handed Dvorak
My problem is (and this problem can be repeated) that whenever I open up a new window, usually big programs like Azureus, Firefox, OpenOffice, Adobe Reader and Opera, the keyboard layout switches straight to Italian, regardless of the layout I had previously active. Even VLC does it, but it does it only every second time I open it. Strangely enough, Totem doesn't do it at all.
This is more than annoying. I just don't know why nobody else has experienced this before. Maybe it's not that big an annoyance...
Anyway, I've trying fiddling around with various combinations of
Separate layout for each window unchecked or checked
with
Apply System-Wide
and rearranging the layouts.
Basically it will switch to the uppermost layout found in the Selected layouts: list whenever I open a new window of the above-mentioned programs, among others.
Even giving me a few pointers, like which log files to check out, would be much appreciated. Just please don't tell me stuff like "switch to a different version, it works better in 10.04 or 10.10" - I'd rather figure out the problems in this one than deal with a whole slew of new bugs in another version.
