Comment 13 for bug 783827

This introduced a huge regression: As the indicator does not automatically adapt to the selected user's default layout, but apparently stays to the system default (or always just en/US, I didn't test that far), lightdm now _overwrites_ the user's default layout with the one which is set in the lightdm indicator (which is wrong).

Before, lightdm would not touch the keyboard layout at all. This was not really nice because users could not type their password in their own layout, but had to use the system default layout.

The old gdm 2 did it right: It switched the current keyboard layout to the user default one, you were able to change it when typing your password, and it propagated the new default layout to the session. I think the unity greeter shoudl reflect this.
