            Bug ID: 267368
           Summary: x11/kf5-kded: does not save per-application keyboard
                    layout settings anymore
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: kde@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: d8zNeCFG@aon.at
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(kde@FreeBSD.org)
          Assignee: kde@FreeBSD.org

Scenario:
- FreeBSD 12.3 latest
- ports as of Oct 13, specifically kf5-kded-5.98.0
- using "per-application" keyboard layout settings
- using "German (Austria)" for some (e.g., thunderbird), "English (US)" (wh=
ich
is also the default) for the rest
- normally, keyboard layout settings are saved into the file
.local/share/kded5/keyboard/session/layout_memory.xml
- until a while ago, thunderbird seemed to use a WM_CLASS of "Thunderbird"
(inferred from the contents of the layout_memory.xml file)
- currently, it uses "Mail", "thunderbird"
- The contents of the layout_memory.xml file were:

[0]% cat .local/share/kded5/keyboard/session/layout_memory.xml
<!DOCTYPE LayoutMap>
<LayoutMap version=3D"1.0" SwitchMode=3D"WinClass">
 <item currentLayout=3D"at" layouts=3D"us,at" ownerKey=3D"Thunderbird"/>
 <item currentLayout=3D"at" layouts=3D"us,at" ownerKey=3D"dolphin"/>
 <item currentLayout=3D"at" layouts=3D"us,at" ownerKey=3D"okular"/>
 <item currentLayout=3D"at" layouts=3D"us,at" ownerKey=3D"soffice.bin"/>
</LayoutMap>
[0]%=20

Result:
- When logging in again, thunderbird gets the layout "English (US)"

Expected result:
- As for dolphin and okular, the layout should be remembered for thunderbird
across session close/open.

Analysis:
- The file .local/share/kded5/keyboard/session/layout_memory.xml still gets
read
- This can be seen by added the following line to it:

 <item currentLayout=3D"at" layouts=3D"us,at" ownerKey=3D"thunderbird"/>

- (note the lower-case "t")
- With this line, after a new login (session) thunderbird immediately starts
with the "German (Austria)" keyboard layout
- Obviously, on logout (or probably whenever the keyboard layout for an
application is changed) the file is not updated anymore
