I have this problem on Trusty Tahr, but it doesn't only happen at login. I have three keyboard layouts installed - Danish, Swedish and US English (the actual keyboard layout is US english), and I often find that it happens while I'm in the middle of typing a sentence, suddenly writing ;, ', [ instead of Danish æ, ø, å or Swedish ö, ä, å, and special characters suddenly switching positions..

The indicator sometimes shows e.g. English layout wwhile the actual layout would be e.g. Swedish, but I have not been able to figure out if it is consistent or not, and I have not been able to figure out anything that could change the behaviour.

I have had Left Shift+CapsLock mapped to cycle between layouts and thought that maybe I simpoly hit that combination by accident, but after I have changed the mapping to Ctrl+Alt+Space, it still happens, and THAT combination is not easily hit by accident.

I have mostly been working in and therefore experiencing the problem in Firefox and GVim.
