Hi all.
After upgrading to 13.10 it looks like we have no more deal with XKB for layout settings and input language switching, so I have a question.
Some times I need to add one ore two more input languages and remove them after little time. It's frequently operation, and in the pas there was a way to make it simple, like:
setxkbmap -layout "us,ru,de"
So I was able to bind such command to hotkeys and add or remove needed language very fast and easy.
for now setxkbmap no affect laout at all, so what can I do?
I tryed to do something like:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ru'), ('xkb', 'ar')]"
And it really added layout to keyboard-indicator, but wan't change the input at all, so if I open GUI settings tool, i wan't find there new language.
I tryed also to do:
gsettings set org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts "['us', 'ru', 'de']"
But that have no effect at all.
diff between gsettings list-recursively before adding new layout from gui and after that isn't showing any difference except in org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources, diff between gconftool-2 --recursive-list before and after insn't showing any differences at all.
So, how can I add or remove input source and layout by console command?
