Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2012-0712
2012-01-19 21:21:19
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : xkeyboard-config
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 2.3
Release     : 3.fc16
URL         : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig
Summary     : X Keyboard Extension configuration data
Description :
This package contains configuration data used by the X Keyboard Extension
(XKB), which allows selection of keyboard layouts when using a graphical
interface.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The previous version of xkeyboard-config included the key combinations to clear and/or kill grabs
in the default keymap. This enabled users to get around screen locks that use grabs to prevent
input to other applications (e.g. gnome-screensaver). This update moves the definition of the key
combinations to a XKB option that must be explicitly enabled by the user.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Thu Jan 19 2012 Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@redhat.com> 2.3-3
- Move Ungrab and ClearGrab from the default layout to option
  grab:break_actions (#783044)
