Ubuntu: keyboard layout randomly switching back and forth


Ubuntu 10.10 i386 (beta), Dell n500 notebook


Several times a day my keyboard layout starts randomly switching back and forth all by itself. Scroll lock indicator blinks like a crazy.


Rebooting helps. In text console (CTRL+ALT+F1) all is OK.


Update: sometimes the problem goes away all by itself after some time.


Update: logging out and back in also helps. Perhaps there is some process that I could kill / restart manually?


Please help me to diagnose the problem.


Answer



Gotcha!


Killing gnome-settings-daemon solves the problem.
