Bug Description

I have my computer in Galician language but I use us_intl keyboard layout. As Oneiric is not using the complete upsteam panel for setting keyboard layout I cant apply one keyboard layout system wide.

The only way I found to set this up is:
- Edit file /etc/default/keyboard to fit the next lines

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="intl"
XKBOPTIONS=""
- And run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Sorry folks, but, as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 LTS, I'm marking this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release, please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the 16.04 LTS development cycle.
