When using a Bluetooth keyboard, the keyboard layout in Pantheon greeter is not automatically set to my preferred layout (dvorak).

Confirmed that this only seems to affect Bluetooth keyboards. A USB keyboard does, in fact, respect my layout. I think it's because layouts are managed differently in Bluetooth. It could also be related to this too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087504

Still happening?

Not able to test here. Basically, the bug only appears when there are no USB keyboard-like devices attached to the computer and a Bluetooth keyboard connects.
