Comment 1 for bug 1324489

This is the scenario we were trying to avoid (and I think is correct):

Say a user's normal keyboard layout is Arabic, but they are typing some document in English in their session. They leave the machine for enough time the lock screen pops up. Since the password is in Arabic, but the keyboard was set for English, they need to change to Arabic in order to unlock, but would probably want the session to remain in English.

My take is that there is some reason why the session keyboard is set to something different than the default which is what the password is set to. I think changing the keyboard in the lock screen is just for getting the correct password.

If people can come up with reasons why you'd want to use the lock screen to change your session keyboard instead of the session itself, please comment in this bug.

Hope this makes sense. Changing this to Opinion for now, but open for discussion.
