Yesterday, my tests shown the XKB configuration database is 100% usable in xml->configuration direction, when it comes to models and layouts (with variants). It means all configuration items (listed in xml) can be used without errors caused by the broken data files/rules/…
The options are a bit funny thing to test because it seems XFree ‘accumulates’ options which are set with setxkbmap – so one should blank options between each individual tests. Not a big issue but still a thing to know…
It would also be nice to prepare tests in the opposite direction – check that XML contains really full directory of the available configuration options. Probably this is not critical for the first release…
GNOME Control Center
Looking forward to the discussion (between jody, jrb, and carlos and me) about the keyboard capplet, i18n capplet and all related stuff. Things should be straighten out – the sooner the better.
