Comment 9 for bug 834487

I have to add my comments to this one too. Being able to change the keyboard layout at the login screen is something that GNOME has supported for years. It is required functionality when more than one layout is configured on the system. For example, here we use English Dvorak and English US (qwerty) layouts on the same machines and keyboards. Being able to switch layouts at the login screen is essential to be able to properly type in user names and passwords. One of Ubuntu's primary goals is usability, and not having an option to select a layout at the login screen is damaging to usability.
