Title:
  unity-greeter messes with system-wide keyboard configuration

Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Symptoms:

  I want to set system-wide keyboard options. I edit
  /etc/default/keyboard and reboot. When I log back my changes are not
  in effect.

  Running `sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change
  --verbose` fixes things: keyboard configuration changes are applied.
  Running `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` also helps.
  Obviously both work only until next reboot/logout.

  Why I think this bug is related to unity-greeter: changing display
  manager to gdm or to lightdm with lightdm-gtk-greeter makes the
  problem vanish.

  I'm using Awesome WM but default Unity desktop is also affected: while
  I can change keyboard options in Settings -> Keyboard layout, I still
  cannot apply system-wide settings from /etc/default/keyboard
