It's strange that the gnome-screensaver (bug 49222) and gksu / gksudo do
not use the same dialog mechanisms. I think a bigger bug is that they
should both use the same code.
I tried reporting it at Gnome. This bug (
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537486 ) was listed as "not a

I'm running Intrepid beta. Sometimes I have to cancel gksu, switch keyboard
layout, restart gksu.. That's annoying...
We need a keyboard layout indicator/switcher like on the "Unlock screen"
dialog. (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/49222)
Thanks.

this affects the vast majority of (if not all) non-english speakers.
if we look at some other operating systems, most of them have an
keyboard indicator on their login/password msgbox. i believe this is a
good idea to implement.

I use 3 layouts (english, french, russian) and without indication it's really

Gksu should show the current keyboard layout and caps lock state, like in
windows xp login dialog.

I have selected en_US layout as the default layout and clicked the "separate
group for each window".
