I don't know if GDM still doesn't let users to change the keyboard
layout, but in any case Gnome should cope with it. Ubuntu now uses
LightDM/Unity Greeter and this problem doesn't exist there.

Title:
GDM should use the preferred layout of the user
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gdm
1) Configure your session to use 2 different keyboard layout with the
keyboard layout switcher applet. (in my case it was Belgian and French
Dvorak Bépo)
2) Set one of your keyboards to be the default one (in my case Fr
Dvorak Bépo) and set the keyboard layout to be generic (not window
specific).
3) Observe that, depending the order you entered the layout in the chooser,
GDM will always propose you by default one of your keyboard layout to enter
your password. Unfortunatly, it's not the default (by default, GDM uses belgian
keyboard) => BUG
4) In your session, remove the second keyboard (Belgian) and completely
remove the switcher applet. You know only have one keyboard layout (Fr Dvorak
Bépo)
5) GDM still uses the belgian one by default for my session. => BUG
