Hello All,

I have an unique problem in Terminal of Red Hat Linux WS 6.6. After some of period of period (Don't know exactly when..) keyboard layout (and not language) changes from German to English ONLY in Terminal. In other programs (e.g. nedit or Openoffice etc..) it remains always German. I am not sure, how and when this is taking place. Is any of my script changing any environment variable or any other program.

What would you suggest, what can be the best way to figure it out?

I thought of following :

If I could write any shell script which at some time interval, say at every hour, would write time, environment variable LANG and all the processes ran in that hour on the whole system. So this would help me to figure out at what time LANG is changed and which processes caused it. What is your opinion about it?

If you think this would help, how can I write a shell script which would be continuously running in background and write above-stated variables.

Help of any sorts would be appreciated. This problem is literally bugging me now....

Thanks in advance.

I suspect that you are accidentally pressing the keyboard shortcut for toggling through your installed keyboard layouts. On my PC it's the Windows key + Space. I can't remember whether I assigned it or whether it is the default in Gnome. It also might be that the keyboard layout sticks to the current window, which would explain that you have different layouts in different programs.

If you don't need the English layout, just remove it.
