InputSources should have an explicit default

[Jonas G. Drange]

The AccountsService package rolls the org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.xml schema, which comes with a default, empty InputSources. Mir defaults to “en”.

Maybe we should set this value to “en” so that there's a canonical way of figuring out what InputSource to use. Additionally, if a vendor wants “no” to be the default, it could make sense to just override this schema default value.

This is to avoid hard-coding it in Mir? What about falling back to whatever is in /etc/default/keyboard if the user's input sources list is empty?

FWIW, I believe /etc/default/keyboard is populated by Ubiquity at some point during installation, so it's probably more reliable and user-specific than hard-coding 'us' in the XML file as well.

Is that happening on the phone as well?​

[Jonas G. Drange (jonas-drange)]

This happens on the phone as well, so let's use this as a default.

Mir defaults to "us"

How do you propose phones can be shipped with a non-us default keymap in
that case?​
