[Piet Delport <pjdelport@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm also running into this regression on a fresh installation of Ubuntu
11.10. I use two keyboard layouts, "dvorak" and "us".

* In the screensaver unlock dialog, switching the keyboard layout
correctly updates the layout indicator (using both mouse clicks and the
group toggle shortcut), but the switch doesn't actually take effect: the
password input is processed according to the primary layout.

* As an experiment, i tried switching to the secondary layout before
activating the screensaver, to see if it changes the behavior, but it
doesn't seem to: the dialog still "locks" into the primary layout,
rather than the secondary.

Title:
  Keyboard layout doesn't change

Status in GNOME Screensaver:
  Unknown
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With two keyboard layouts (layout1 and layout2, where layout1 is the default for the session)
  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.
