Sometimes it's even intended that an app does use another keymap.
I'm using the English language for everything computer related, excepted
of a German keyboard.
If I use a calculator, I expect the calculator fixes the "," of the
German num pad. The "," on the num pad should become a ".", the "," and
"." on the other part of the keyboard should remain unchanged.
Some good Linux calculators are doing this, a lot of calculators that
belong to a desktop environment, don't do this.
When using Ubuntu flavour Live DVDs I often experience that while using
a terminal, for obviously no reason, the de keyboard layout gets
changed to the us keyboard layout. IOW within the same window, while
typing, the keyboard layout changes from one line to the next line.
Do the GUIs ask for the root or user password? On my installs "su" as
well as "sudo" grant root privileges, but for "su" another password is
used, than for "sudo" (at least without an option to change the
user ;). Graphical apps could use gksu, gksudo or similar.
