[Mekk <Marcin.Kasperski@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As my case is slightly specific, let me describe it too. I use specific
variant of Polish keyboard - pl(intl) instead of default pl (it is
simply much better considering extra symbols). This variant is
configured in unity settings (I finally removed all other keyboards from
there), while fighting with the problem I also configured it in
/etc/default/keyboard.

Since I updated to 14.04, at chaotic moments (at least a few times a day
but I did not spot any rule yet), my  layout silently switches back to
'pl'.  Whenever I spot it, I issue "setxkbmap 'pl(intl)'" and get my
keyboard back ……… for some time. And again, and again. Thing is not
login/reboot related, one of my machines works continuously for weeks
(and presents me this problem every day). I experience it both on
„normal Unity desktop” and on somewhat specific machine with
Gnome+Awesome.

I noticed that ~/.dmrc (I have no clue what it is and where it comes
from, I checked it as it was mentioned above) has WRONG layout
(Layout=pl without variant)

It may be of importance (someone above mentioned mixed language
settings), that I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (and other locale similarly).

Title:
  Keyboard layout changing randomly

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just upgraded from 12.04 (raring) to 12.10 (saucy) and keyboard layout keeps changing from pt_br to what I think is en_us.
  It seems random so I don't know what trigger this, but sometimes just alt-tabbing is enough to mess with keyboard layout in one of the windows.
  I already removed the en_us from my keyboard sources, double checked the use of one source for all windows, and even removed accelerators to switch between layouts but none have worked.
