Bug Description

I use i3 as my WM at the moment. I have the following settings /etc/default/keyboard:

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="compose:caps"

- When I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration these settings get activated (as expected).
- When logout and login to my i3 session these settings stop working.
- When I switch my login manager to GDM these settings work.

I'm using Saucy so it might be also some new change in the unstable version (perhaps ConsoleKit to logind change?).
