Comment 75 for bug 1246272

As my case is slightly specific, let me describe it too. I use specific variant of Polish keyboard - pl(intl) instead of default pl (it is simply much better considering extra symbols). This variant is configured in unity settings (I finally removed all other keyboards from there), while fighting with the problem I also configured it in /etc/default/keyboard.

Since I updated to 14.04, at chaotic moments (at least a few times a day but I did not spot any rule yet), my layout silently switches back to 'pl'. Whenever I spot it, I issue "setxkbmap 'pl(intl)'" and get my keyboard back ……… for some time. And again, and again. Thing is not login/reboot related, one of my machines works continuously for weeks (and presents me this problem every day). I experience it both on „normal Unity desktop” and on somewhat specific machine with Gnome+Awesome.

I noticed that ~/.dmrc (I have no clue what it is and where it comes from, I checked it as it was mentioned above) has WRONG layout (Layout=pl without variant)

It may be of importance (someone above mentioned mixed language settings), that I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (and other locale similarly).
