Bug Description

English (Dvorak) is my default keyboard, and English (US) is my secondary.
But when I boot up, it boots into QUERTY.
How do I know Compiz is at fault?
Yesterday for some reason Compiz didn't start, and I thoughtlessly pressed CTL-ALT-T for a text box, using Dvorak, and gnome-terminal came right up. I typed in Compiz, and Compiz came up, but I had lost my Dvorak keyboard.

I am also seeing this bug after upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 beta.

If I reboot or logout/restart X, I have a OWERTY keyboard layout even though QWERTY is not even in my list of layouts (I deleted it because I use only Dvorak and no one else uses this computer). I can get my Dvorak settings back by switching to one of my other text input modes (Japanese, Vietnamese), then switching back to English.
