I read up a bit in these threads (where Martin Pitt also contributes a
lot)

"always overrides keyboard layout variants"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572765
"Try harder to use the keyboard layout passed by gdm"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585290

I think the one thing that is overlooked, is that some users never see
the gdm selector. To not require a password at login (or login
automatically) is an option in the Lucid installation, so I think this
is not an uncommon situation. The problem also occurs when there is no
.dmrc file.

These users will not be able to change their default keyboard layout, at
least that will be their experience. Therefore I think this bug should
be reopened, but I'm quite new to launchpad so I'm not sure whether it
is appropriate for me to do that.
