Title: Keyboard layout switcher doesn't work when I log in using the login screen Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have two keyboard layouts enabled on my PC, "English (USA)" and "Russian", they are switched by pressing Alt+Shift (the default). If automatic login is enabled and I get logged in when the system starts, without entering my password on the login screen, everything works. However, if automatic login is disabled and I log in by entering my password then the keyboard layout indicator disappears from the panel and keyboard layout won't switch when I press Alt+Shift. Basically, I'm stuck with the EN-US layout until I enable automatic login and reboot. The same problem happens if I log in automatically but then log out and log in again manually. This does NOT happen when I block the screen and then unblock it (although I have to enter the password), nor when I block the screen and then switch users. Also, when I start a guest session, the layout switcher always works normally there. I've tried creating additional user accounts and the problem repeats in all of them. I'm sorry I can't select the right package, but I don't know what causes this behavior.
