Also happened to me in Xubuntu 14.04, Kubuntu 15.04 and Linux Mint 17. Occurs on several computers with several keyboards but not all of them : I have an eeepc which embedded keyboard causes no problem, but some external keyboards are set in US layout at boot. Very annoying to enter my password at login...
I worked around this by executing "setxkbmap -fr" at startup, but the problem is still there at login.
