Bug Description

I use the United Kingdom (Dvorak) layout for my keyboard, set in my session via the GNOME Keyboard Properties dialog. Being a multi-user system, the rest of the system (console, X) is set to standard United Kingdom (QWERTY) layout.

I recently upgraded from Jaunty up to Lucid. Somehow during this process, the United Kingdom (Dvorak) layout got set as the default GNOME keyboard for all users. I had to go into Keyboard Properties, select QWERTY and click "apply system-wide" to fix it. However, it shouldn't have made my settings system-wide in the first place, especially with the rest of the system disagreeing with them.
