Tested some more since this happen almost with all the latest updates for Gutsy:

* Does not matter if i set language for login setting at the login window to Swedish, the keyboard mapping is still wrong.

One thing i notices was that after successful login (with US keyboard mapping on a Swedish keyboard) the default language is US for a while and then it changes back to Swedish since i set it at login promt. The setting done at login must apply while login in, not after.

Just to make this clear. We have different letters and keyboards with different characters (imagine the problem Chinese who have a completely different language will have).

And the keyboard indicator is completely missing from the login screen (both keyboard and language should be notified to the user with icons).

The screen saver problem is worse since you might be typing in one of many languages and then you go watch TV and login next day (and perhaps have no idea what language you were using - plus perhaps you haven't memorised the entire keyboard layout, again regarding odd characters).
