Some additional information:
On a german keyboard the z and y keys are switched compared to an english keyboard. I have this bug on one my machines as well, and as my user password contains a "z" i always have to press the "y" button on my keyboard. In /etc/keyboard XKBLAYOUT is set to "en", i switched it to "de" and now it works like expected.
On my other machine i don't have this problem, the difference between the two is, that i've installed on the first machine (with the layout problem) 10.10 and then upgraded to 11.04 and 11.10. On my second machine i've installed 11.04 and upgraded to 11.10.

Title:
  Keyboard layout not set in greeter

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Triaged
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello Guys,

  I had installed LightDM in my Ubuntu 11.04 yesterday.
  However, I got some weird behaviour with my keyboard preferences (layout) after install it.
  Every time I reboot or logout my system the keyboard layout change to USA automatically.

  I have searched about this problem at google, but I got nothing except with xorg.conf stuffs.
  The problem is I have no xorg.conf with this Ubuntu version to configure manually.
  (Keep in mind I was tried to change my keyboard preferences through the GUI program, but the problem persist)

  At this time, I removed LightDM and I using GDM again.

  So, have you guys any idea to fix it?

  
  Thx in advanced,
