Title:
  the login screen should have a keyboard layout selector

Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  At the login screen having it set to ask you to login instead of
  setting it to auto login there is no option to select or set (once
  logged in) keyboard layout here.

  For ex: I use Dvorak only, these are the settings in my desktop
  environment. At the login screen, I have to use qwerty. No option to
  switch layouts.

  Previous Ubuntu releases acknowledge these settings at the login
  screen, and I think 11.04 if not then 10.10 even gives you the option
  to choose which layout you want to login with right from the login
  screen
