I did some work on updating to 3.5.4.

  lp:~laney/gnome-settings-daemon/3.5.4

Some outstanding issues

  - 61_unity_use_application_indicator.patch is large and doesn't apply, so disabled
  - Lid close doesn't suspend
  - Compose key stopped working, which is possibly a larger problem with layouts. May be fixed by upgrading g-c-c too (didn't do that).

Some patches misapplied when quilt refreshed. I caught everything I saw but there is still a chance of leftovers.

summary: - Update to 3.5.3
+ Update to 3.5.4

Pushed a new one with 61_... updated and an upstream patch reverted to facilitate this. Seems the compose key works now. Didn't test lid suspend on the laptop yet.

Problems

  - XKB activation error on launch, which must be related to the aforementioned patch not being right yet.

(I'd really appreciate it if someone else could take a look at this and g-c-c; I'm too close to the updates to see stupid mistakes just now)

Ok, I can confirm the XKB issue there, easy way to test is to run from the build dir (keyboard panel subdir):
"setxkbmap us; ./test-keyboard" (instead of "us" pick a layout which is not your default one, the code will not run if the default config matches the one used)

the issue is not due to the indicator patch but to the revert_keyboard one

reverting that commit "fixes" the issue:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-manager.c?id=42afa81cb2eba7b1b69fc60951f0b5cfc09ac45b

writing "fixes" because I get no indicator after that so I wonder if it just makes the whole code not work...

will keep investigating tomorrow but that can give a start for somebody else wanting to look at that

ok, my guess is that upstream broke something in that commit:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-manager.c?id=f5b6a8055e24fdde1efdeaff9895e0039c84e53a

they just never really hit the bug because they dropped the xkb code before 3.5.2 which was the first tarball in the 3.5 serie

we might just want to revert the directory to the 3.4 version for that upload, it might be easier than debugging what is wrong especially if those revert are temporary ones to avoid regressions until we sort the indicator situation

So, on my machine the media-keys module doesn’t work anymore. Is that related to this bug?

Delaying to next cycle at this point there are too many changes in gnome-settings-daemon,gnome-control-center to update in quantal, including:
- user account needs realmd (to get packaged)
- the gtkstatusicon for the keyboard layouts has been deprecated in favor of a new ibus,gnome-shell integration ... that would need testing, checks for feature parity and re-implementation of a keyboard indicator
- gnome-control-center has quite some ui changes that should land before UIF if to land (e.g this week), that's not likely to happen

summary: - Update to 3.5.5
+ [quantal+1] Update to 3.6
