Bug Description
After upgrading a machine from 16.04.3 LTS to 18.04.3 Vino VNC connections use the wrong keyboard layout.
By default I use "DE" keyboard layout.
If I connect from another 18.04.3 machine to said vino on the upgraded 18.04.3 machine, the keyboard layout seems to be "kind of" US, not other keys are as well not correct.
I can only fix this by running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
in a console (pressing Enter all the way through and confirm settings) and rebooting. If I connect to vino VNC after issueing this command and rebooting, the layout is correct until next reboot. Then I have to issue this command again and so on.

The problem seems to get worse, as in 90% of the cases the above mentioned configuration
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
does not fix the problem anymore. I have to cycle reboots for 10-20 times until I get the correct mapping. Any help is appreciated.
