** Description changed:

- I upgraded from raring to saucy.
+ [Impact]
  
- After booting into the desktop (unity), the english keyboard layout is
- active, although everything on the system is set to be german (keyboard
- layout, language...)
+ When first boot into Unity desktop, English keyboard layout is active
+ while all other parts of the system language settings are set to another
+ language (e.g. German).
  
- Switching to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) fixes the problem and
- changes the layout to the german layout.
+ The bug is properly addressed in newer upstream releases in Vivid, but
+ the changes is too intrusive and not suitable for being back ported in
+ SRU. And changing the default to use system keyboard layout solves the
+ problem.
  
- all the time, the new input settings indicator says the german layout is
- active.
+ [Test Case]

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When first boot into Unity desktop, English keyboard layout is active
  while all other parts of the system language settings are set to
  another language (e.g. German).

  The bug is properly addressed in newer upstream releases in Vivid, but
  the changes is too intrusive and not suitable for being back ported in
  SRU. And changing the default to use system keyboard layout solves the
  problem.

  [Test Case]

  1. Set the system language to something other than English, e.g. German.
  2. Create a new user, log in to the Unity desktop of the new user.
  3. Check the keyboard layout, it should be German instead of English.

  [Regression Potential]

  Since this changes the default value of the keyboard layout settings
  by using system defined as default, it avoids using ibus's built-in
  keyboard layout related functionality, so that this could be a
  regression for users rely on this certain behavior (e.g. use English
