[Bruno Nova <1240198@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tested the ibus packages (version 1.5.5-1ubuntu3.2) in a Ubuntu
14.04.3 Live session inside VirtualBox.

Before upgrading the packages, the command:
$ gsettings get org.freedesktop.ibus.general use-system-keoard-layout
returned "false".
After upgrading, it returns "true". "ibus-setup" also displays that the setting is enabled.

This setting at "true" should mean the issue is fixed.
But testing if this really fixes "Wrong keyboard layout active after booting" is difficult since the bug is very random, and in my computer I already set that setting to "true" manually.

I'll mark this as verification-done.
But other people should test this as well (I am the one who sent the fix).
If the fix doesn't work for you, please set the bug as verification-failed (but try rebooting first).

Title:
  [SRU]Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop

Status in ibus package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ibus source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When first boot into Unity desktop, English keyboard layout is active
  while all other parts of the system language settings are set to
  another language (e.g. German).

  The bug is properly addressed in newer upstream releases in Vivid, but
  the changes is too intrusive and not suitable for being back ported in
  SRU. And changing the default to use system keyboard layout solves the
  problem.

  [Test Case]

  1. Set the system language to something other than English, e.g. German.
  2. Create a new user, log in to the Unity desktop of the new user.
  3. Check the keyboard layout, it should be German instead of English.

  [Regression Potential]

  Since this changes the default value of the keyboard layout settings
  by using system defined as default, it avoids using ibus's built-in
  keyboard layout related functionality, so that this could be a
  regression for users rely on this certain behavior (e.g. use English
  keyboard while want to keep the system language settings to German),
  but such behavior is not expected for normal usage.
