PROPOSED FIX

The current popup shows:
   Information: Username, Current keyboard layout (also a button)
   Buttons: Switch user, Unlock

When you click on Switch user, you end up at the correct behaviour: the
keyboard is switched back to the default layout, the same layout that
the user used to login, and it does offer the option to switch user (the
standard login screen).

Proposed fix: go straight to the login screen (it fixes the layout, and
it doesn't require extra clicking when a alternate keyboard layout
happened to be active, and in case it is desirable to switch the user,
it is immediately possible)

As a bonus, you're using a well tested and beautifully designed screen,
and you're skipping an unnecessary widget.

Title:
  Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock
  and login screen

Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock screen (to
  change keyboard layout for entering password).

  - Switch to some non-english layout (otherwise lock screen will not have layout indicator at all)
  - Lock the screen
  - Press your shortcut for changing keyboard layout (i.e. ctrl+shift) -- it will not change layout
  - Clicking layout indicator near password entry box works
