Hello James,

Thank you for the workaround you found. I confirm that this actually worked for me too and that it did solve the problem !
The settings are being remembered across reboots when the proper keyboard is selected at the GDM greeting (and this is only needed once).

I do agree with you that this is only a workaround; and that is does not actually solve the bug...

But it is now clear that there is an interaction between the GDM greeter and gnome-settings-daemon: GDM seems to superseed the settings saved with gnome-settings-daemon for that user at startup and force it's own settings for the session.

Now, should this bug be re-routed to the GDM team?
