Description Steve Dodier-Lazaro editbugs 2015-04-09 13:39:55 CEST
Libkeybinder is no longer maintained and should be avoided in new code. Especially, it causes systematic memory leaks on some hardware configurations. With volumed I've had a lot of reports of the daemon leaking memory which I couldn't reproduce for years. When I finally got hold of a user who could test this issue, we figured that keybinder leaks memory every time that user switched keyboard layouts.

Currently: the PA plugin uses libkeybinder which is susceptible to hard-to-reproduce, unfixable memory leaks

Expected: the PA plugin uses a reliable and maintained keyboard backend. Xfce has its own backend in libxfce4util as far as I recall.

Any existing examples of using libxfce4util for that?
