messed up characters when started automatically

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. autokey gets started at kde start
2. using an autokey phrase produces garbled text
3. restarting autokey 

Using autokey 0.71 on archlinux with kde 4.5.1, german (and german keyboard 
layout).
autokey is started at kde start (as part of saved session). when typing an 
autokey phrase some characters are wrong. For example I have a phrase that 
automatically expands to an email address - but some special characters like 
"-" and "@" are replaced by some other chars. (enabling the qt4 workaround in 
config doesn't help)
when closing and restarting autokey it works fine. also, when it's not started 
automatically at kde startup but manually it does work fine.

thx, sebastian :)

You must be using multiple keyboard layouts using the KDE keyboard config. 
AutoKey is started and then KDE changes the layout after this. See this page, 
particularly the section on keyboard layouts:

thx for the hint. i don't use multiple keyboard layouts. but after some time i 
figured out that in kde's keyboard settings there is an evdev-option. that did 
the trick :)

That's very interesting... what exactly is this option?

in systemsettings > input devices > keyboard you can choose your keyboard 
model. instead of a specific model you can choose the option "generic | 
evdev..."
