With the DFB backend i recently experienced the need to force reload of keymap and i did it by calling directly a DFB function from my GTK app code. Mike Emmel suggested to add something like gdk_directfb_reload_keymap() to the GDKDFB backend, as this seems to be a generic problem.
Any suggestion about other ways keymap reloading could be done?


Why is reloading the keymap needed in the first place? I suggest that
this is fixed in DirectFB instead of adding an API for the sole purpose
of working around what appears to be a bug in DirectFB.

In the graphical debian-installer, which is GTKDFB based, the user chooses his native language at a early stage, and from that point on the keymap must match the choosed language. Manually reloading the keymap is an a acceptable workaround, but of course having DFB automatically doing that would be a better option: dok, could this be implemented in some future DFB release?
