Bug Description

The current fix for bug #834487 adds a new keyboard layout indicator in unity greeter, and allows to pick any keyboard layout available on the system. This creates a very long menu, and most of the layouts will be irrelevant for the user.

@felix-lawrence suggested that the menu will contain only the union of all the other users' keyboard layouts.

This fix has a flaw - there is no option to add a layout to the list on the logon screen, so users who never logged in before can't choose their layout. Reported as #949001.
