Hi, I've just had enough of doing CTRL-ALT-F1 login, kill gnome-
screensaver etc., to look more into this and can confirm that, at least
for me:

With two keyboard layouts (layout1 and layout2)
1) lock the screen with CTRL-ALT-l
2) touch mouse to bring up screensaver dialog
3) switch keyboard layout to layout2 (and note keyboard indicator indicates layout change)
4) enter password *as if layout1 was active* [1]
5)  screen is unlocked
6) switch back to layout1

Repeat, but this time skip step 3 - screen is still unlocked. That is,
it seems that although the screensaver dialog indicates that it changes
the layout - it is always using the one layout. Brian can you confirm
this?

If I get a chance, I'll take a look at the source and see if there's
something I can pick off.

[1] I had to type it in to an editor as I only know the keystrokes using
layout2

Title:
  Not possible to enter correct password after screen lock

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

Bug description:
  STR:
   1) Lock the screen
   2) Move mouse to force password dialog to appear
   3) Set correct keyboard layout and enter password
   4) Returned to desktop

  AR:
   At step 3, no matter which keyboard layout I set (I have US and US-dvorak and toggle with double-shift) the password which I enter is never accepted. I am forced to switch to a tty, login there (with the same password) and `pkill -f gnome-screensaver` to get back to my desktop.

  Note: I use multiple layouts on another oneiric laptop and do not see
  this issue.
