Bug 14372

Sergey - can you paste the IRC log here for a bit more context? I was on vacation last week and can't find the discussion. Thanks.

Well, what exactly the log do you need? If you talking about a conversation between me and Sergey — it's in russian. If you talking about my speech — it is nothing more than a point to a bug.

hmm, a Russian log would be of limited use to me :)

just summarizing so I understand this correctly, you want something like this. Example is the terminate server option (though that one doesn't exactly work like below, but it'll do as an example):

right now, specifying -layout a,b -option o results in this:

    key <BKSP> {
        symbols[Group1]= [       BackSpace, Terminate_Server ]
        symbols[Group2]= [       BackSpace ]
    };

but you want that if option o is defined as :all, an endresult of:

    key <BKSP> {
        symbols[Group1]= [       BackSpace, Terminate_Server ]
        symbols[Group2]= [       BackSpace, Terminate_Server ]
    };

do I understand this correct?

Peter, yes you understand that correct. 
There is one important moment. The syntax :all should be used within rules rather that within setxkbmap command line. That way people who already use some "group 1" options would automatically have their issues fixed - group 1 propagated. By "some" I mean that existing options will be reviewed (by myself) and some rules are fixed to use :all syntax.
Does that make sense?

as discussed on IRC this is how I understood it anyway so ACK from me to the principle. I don't think I'll find the time in the new future to implement this, so please help me there if you need this feature sooner than later.
