Hello. I have bumped into this bug too. In the middle of a session (I do not remember doing anything special in that session, either installing new software or changing system settings or anything of that kind), the keyboard switched from Spanish to English and stayed like that even after rebooting the system. The bug affected only GNOME, if I started session with Cinnamon or XFCE, the keyboard behaves as Spanish, but when I logged with GNOME again (either with Metacity or Compiz), the bug showed itself up! With this information, I opened dconf-editor and start looking at keys related with GNOME and I found this one: org -> gnome -> desktop -> input-sources Here, I can see under "sources" the keyboard layouts present in the system (in my case, Spanish and English in this order) and the key "current" that had the value "1". Looking at the help in this screen "0" is the first layout, "1" the second, .... Hence, I changed "current" from "1" to "0" (which should be the predetermined value), closed the window, closed and reopened the session, and voila!, my keyboard was Spanish again. What I cannot tell is which application or which action from my part has misconfigured the dconf settings, so perhaps the information I am giving here is not going to help too much in locating the bug but at least, I hope the solution I have found works also for others. By the way, who has labelled this bug as "low importance"? For sure, it must be someone that only uses English keyboards. I do not think that anyone using a non-English keyboard can flag the importance of this bug as "low", it makes the use of the keyboard quite annoying!
