Similar issues with Mate17 set up with UK English keyboard. The login screen appears to use US (@ and " are transposed) but after login input revents to UK English. Modifying XKBLAYOUT and/or XKBVARIANT in /etc/default/ keyboard per Christian's post did not make any difference. Default values were
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="gb"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
what does work (for me) is editing file /etc/mdm/ Init/Default
adding the line
/usr/bin/setxkbmap gb
immediately before the last line in the file, which is
exit 0
