Looking at dbus-monitor, we can see that it sends the following D-Bus messages to xfconf, the configuration manager of Xfce: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- method call time=1621544143.298985 sender=:1.31 -> destination=:1.3 serial=21 path=/org/xfce/Xfconf; interface=org.xfce.Xfconf; member=SetProperty string "keyboard-layout" string "/Default/XkbLayout" variant string "us,ara,et" method call time=1621544143.299068 sender=:1.31 -> destination=:1.3 serial=22 path=/org/xfce/Xfconf; interface=org.xfce.Xfconf; member=SetProperty string "keyboard-layout" string "/Default/XkbVariant" variant string "dvorak,," method return time=1621544143.299121 sender=:1.3 -> destination=:1.31 serial=425 reply_serial=21 signal time=1621544143.299139 sender=:1.3 -> destination=(null destination) serial=426 path=/org/xfce/Xfconf; interface=org.xfce.Xfconf; member=PropertyChanged string "keyboard-layout" string "/Default/XkbLayout" variant string "us,ara,et" method return time=1621544143.299192 sender=:1.3 -> destination=:1.31 serial=427 reply_serial=22 signal time=1621544143.299209 sender=:1.3 -> destination=(null destination) serial=428 path=/org/xfce/Xfconf; interface=org.xfce.Xfconf; member=PropertyChanged string "keyboard-layout" string "/Default/XkbVariant" variant string "dvorak,," --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- There doesn't seem to be a problem up to this point. We'd need to continue the investigation with what xfconf does following the received D-Bus messages. Thanks, Maxim
