** Changed in: xrdp (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xrdp
  
  Using xrdp on a default Xubuntu 8.04 works flawlessly.
  
  Using xrdp on a default Ubuntu 8.04 installation messes up the keyboard
  after logging in to the remote desktop.  To reproduce:
  
  On a test server, using a default Ubuntu installation:
    user at testserver:~$ sudo apt-get install xrdp tightvncserver
    user at testserver:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp start
  
  On an other computer:
    user at client:~$ rdesktop testserver
  
  The xrdp login screen xrdp works as expected.  After I log in, I open an
  editor and I start to type:
  
  qwertyuiop[] becomes on the screen: c.gvnmlzxyu
  asdfghjkl;' becomes on the screen: abfhjk;'`io
  zxcvbnm,. becomes on the screen: */d,s\[]
  / is the enter key
  5 is the backspace key
  
  This makes the keyboard totally unusable.
  
  I have attached the contents of ~/.xsession-errors after logging in to this bug report.
  Line 34 seems to indicate metacity as the possible culprit:
    Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: 
+ disable the keyboard plugin of the gnome-settings-daemon using gconf-editor:
+   /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/keyboard
+ set active to False.
