Title:
  Input language should be set to default when screen gets locked.

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

Bug description:
  This problems comes from using a dual keyboard layout. I face the
  problem using Ubuntu, but other distros most have the same problem.

  When I first log in the computer, I use a default input language to
  type my password (english). Then I use my session switching between
  french and english keyboard layout. Then I lock my session and when I
  come back, the keyboard input language is set to the session language.

  I think from a user perspective, locking a session is about the same
  as logging out except he keeps his windows opened. So the input
  language should be set to a default language then whether the user
  first log in or he locked the screen he input the password using the
  same key sequence and not having to check the current language.
