Bug Description
Hotkeys configured in the system Text Entry settings for keyboard language switching (e.g. Ctrl+Shift or CapsLock) don't work in the Unity greeter screen.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. In the system Text Entry settings:
1a. add two or more languages to the input sources list (e.g. English and Russian);
1b. Set hotkeys to switch sources (e.g. Ctrl+Shift or CapsLock).
2. Reboot or just log out.
3. In the Unity Greeter screen (logon screen) try to switch keyboard layout language using selected shortcut.
Expected: keyboard input language switched
What happened instead: keyboard input language didn't switch
