We use 3 layouts on one computer - Bel, Svk, USA. What I miss is the
possibility to set default one in user preferences and have gnome-
session set it upon start, regardless of what comes from gdm. The most
apparent issue is that upon login, the keyboard-indicator does not match
the actual layout used - shows the first from user preferences, but
applied is the layout that arrived from gdm. And as reported in this
bug, with passwordless login there is no way to set it.

Title:
  gdm overrides keyboard layout in "no password" mode

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

  This problem is similar to bugs reported by other people, but it
  occurs to me that it is specific to a particular layout, and so maybe
  should be reported as a new bug.

  The problem is that each time I log in, I have to go back to
  System->Preferences->Keyboard:Layout to delete "USA Alternative
  international (former us_intl)". No matter how many times I delete
  this layout, it always returns. And even if this layout is not
  selected, it has the peculiar effect of screwing up my other keyboard
  layouts. In particular, it screws up "USA International (AltGr dead
  keys)" so that I can't type most Extended Latin-type characters.

  I'm using 9.10 Gnome-based Ubuntu. The problem arose only after the
  last upgrade

  I also have selected a few layout options:

  Alt and meta are on alt keys
  Swap Ctrl and CapsLock
  Key(s) to change layout; menu
  Key to choose 3rd level: right alt

  The second keyboard that I am using is "Bulgarian Traditional
  Phonetic"

  I'm only using menu options and not playing around with xmodmap or
  anything similar.

  I'm using a Dell laptop.
