Keyboard shortcuts use QWERTY mapping instead of the configured keyboard layout

Starting from Tails 0.22~rc1 in French, for example in gedit:

  • Ctrl+A on a French AZERTY keyboard closes gedit (as if it was Ctrl+Q)
  • Ctrl+Q on a French AZERTY keyboard selects all (as if it was Ctrl+A)
  • Ctrl+Z on a French AZERTY keyboard closes the current file (as if it was Ctrl+W)
  • Ctrl+W on a French AZERTY keyboard does undo (as if it was Ctrl+Z)

This does happen as well Iceweasel and OpenOffice so it looks like a globel input method problem.
