 And as I showed the problem can occur with passwordless login too and,
as it can affect any option, it would better not.

The title should rather be something like

GNOME login without any keypress prevents the working of
GNOME-configured keyboard options.

In my passwordless login configuration, keyboard switching was working
but it was global instead of local as configured in GNOME. No wonder it
took me more than one week to realize that the conclusions I found on my
own were the same as in this thread.
