@Karl Lattimer: I haven't got this bug at the GDM screen, but later when I'm using (typically web browser, like chromium) to write mail in a non-English language which requires one of my non-US layouts. Usually then if I press scroll lock (it's configured to switch layout) the problem occures: layouts switches automatically like crazy, scroll lock led flashes rapidly (it's configured to show the non-primary layout is active, I have four btw), and if I press a key it produces random character each time, I guess based on the fact which was the actual layout at the very moment when I press it. So even pressing the same key for looooong, produces an odd sequence of different characters. But, please note that the kbd indicator applet itself does _NOT_ change, ie it says I am using "US" layout even if it's not true! Killing g-s-d seems to fix the problem though ...
