[Lachezar Dobrev <154744@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug persists in Lucid Lynx, Maverick Meerkat, Natty Narwhal  and Oneiric Ocelot (release candidate).
To make matters worse, occasionally the keyboard layout indicator shows default layout, but the input is NOT in the default layout. The user has to change layouts multiple times until it's changed to the default and shows so.
I am not sure whether I can lock my account out this way, and frankly I'm not eager to try...

Title:
  When screen is locked, the default language for password entry should
  be the user's default language

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  * To be clear, by language I mean keyboard layout.

  Right now it defaults to the currently used language of whatever had
  focus last. When the language is changed for password entry and
  computer is unlocked, the currently used language in the focused
  window is changed to the language used for password entry.

  So if the user with English as the default language is on IM typing in
  Spanish and locks the screen, when they come back, the language for
  password entry is Spanish. They get the password wrong, notice the
  language is wrong, change the language, enter the password, then
  they're back on IM and need to change the language back to Spanish.
