Wrong keyboard layout after login

[FM33]

Hello,

The keyboard layout is azerty (fr) in lightdm, but after login it switches to qwerty (en) and i need to click the first entry in the keyboard indicator to have it back to azerty. I do have only french and french variante layouts in the keyboard layout list.

Side effect : Compiz has to be restarted to take the change for shortcuts like super-w.

Update : There is a hidden tool, ibus-setup that can fix it, but the settings are regularly reset by update-manager.
Run ibus-setup as normal user,
Second tab, check the personalise checkbox,
Remove english (that is bolded and at the top of the list - that's abnormal).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same problem, each time I reboot the systems the keyboard configuration's change to English. But the indicator icon still in es. My keyboard is spanish. When I open the keyboard distribution graphics from the same icon and press the keyboard's key, the coincide distribution. But does not work with other programs.

Wrote a script to automate the workaround :

#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
if [ -n "$(dconf read /desktop/ibus/general/preload-engines | grep eng)" ]; then
   dconf write /desktop/ibus/general/preload-engines "['xkb:fr::fra','xkb:fr:oss:fra']"
   sleep 0.5
   compiz --replace &
fi

Customise it with your own locale and add it in startup applications.
Run "dconf read /desktop/ibus/general/preload-engines" in a terminal to see what is your actual value.
