6.4 Keyboard Settings

@ jaques1

I'm presuming you are using persistent store.
If not, do that first.

If all else fails, you can usually have /etc/rc.local to re-establish things
at each boot with some console commands.

Yes I'm using persistent store - for example Bluetooth loads on start up and my preferred home page appears in Iceweasel.

I expect a solution to this partucular problem then
is to call up your script from /etc/rc.local.

For others, you might publish your script here.

There is also the possiblility that your problem is another
manifestation of an LXDE 'over-initalization' problem,
the cure for which is covered here in another thread:

See specifically my post #5 there.

I tried the modification in your post #5 but lost the window function symbols at the top right of each window. Sorted things out with a reinstall. For info heres's how I derived the script instruction: Go System Settings/Regional & Language/Keyboard Layout and choose your keyboard model and active layout. The resultant entry in the Command field is all you need to use in your script (in my case: "setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout gb").
