Junk characters on Fedora 20 (x86_64)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am getting junk characters in the loggy.log file irrespective of whichever 
layout I choose on Fedora 20 (x86_64) running Mate window manager.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Install logkeys from git (SHA1 6276dd827279dd8c9e959d5c57e6c4b9b85ef08f)
  2. Start logkeys service
  3. Type text in keyboard

I have both QWERTY and Dvorak layouts on my system, and keying in with the 
chosen layout enters the correct characters on the screen. The loggy.log has 
incorrect data.

What is the expected output (QWERTY layout)?

  asdfghjkl

What do you see instead?

  =ȁ܂aoeuid

If I switch to Dvorak layout on the GUI, and run the test, I observe:

What is the expected output (Dvorak layout)?

  aoeuidhtn

What do you see instead?

   =ȁ܂aoeuid

What version of the product are you using (`logkeys --help`)?

  logkeys from SHA1 6276dd827279dd8c9e959d5c57e6c4b9b85ef08f.

On what operating system?

  Fedora 20 (x86_64)

Interesting.
Can you please also provide the output of simply `locale`.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. Logkeys version: 
0.1.1a+git5ef6b0dcb9e3-2, QWERTY keyboard, polish layout. Doesen't matter if I 
work in unity or in gnome. Exporting keymap doesen't help. Worked fine with 
Ubuntu 12.04, messed up after upgrade. In attached file I wrote: 
aaaaa<TAB>bbbbb<TAB>ccccc<TAB>ddddd<TAB>eeeee<TAB>fffff<TAB>.
