Now that is an old bug, I suppose these days quite a good number of
people might be affected by this, I'm surprise not more people complain.

I had seen this bug before on archlinuxarm using just the one
keyboard/mouse combo but I thought it was some quirk of the arm side of
things. If I'm remembering correctly I worked around it by forcing the
layout on XFCE's keyboard layout config utility but it didn't work now
with the laptop.

I'll give it a few days and see if there is any change, someone already
complained a couple days ago, otherwise: squeaky wheel approach :p
