Bug description:
  [Impact]
  GNOME/Cinnamon users that use the "keyboard layout" preference pane, are presented with a list of languages in which none of them is selected.  When moving to the next tab, the first in the list is selected, which causes the whole system to switch to Chinese/Bengali/Whichever language was alphabetically first.  This is saved immediately, but only applied after logging out and in again.

  [Test case]
  In a GNOME session of a machine with some alphabetically lower than English language pack installed (e.g. language-pack-aa), open "System Settings", select the "Keyboard Layout" pane, then move to the next tab and back.

  If the bug is present, the first language in the list will be
  selected.  If it's not, the current language will be selected.

  [Regression potential]
  The fix consists of uncommenting a small piece of code that adds a new entry for the current language and marks it as selected.  This means that the current language is duplicated, however, the current fix considers preferable to have a double entry for the current language than cause the user's session to be suddenly changed to Chinese.

  [Original description]

  Dear Developers,

  I using Ubuntu 12.04 with GNOME3 fallback session.
  I found a bug with System settings preference tooll the Keyboard Layouts preference pane:
  If launch System settings, choosing keyboard layouts preference pane, the first awailable page tab is the language page tab. When I moving the dialog with TAB and SHIFT+TAB key, the language tree table wrong language are default selected, not the current used language.
  Reproducation steps, I verified with Ubuntu 12.04 daily live CD in GNOME3 fallback session:
  1. Boot Ubuntu 12.04 daily live CD.
  2. In the language list select a non english language.
  3. Click try Ubuntu button.
  4. Enable the universe and multiverse repositoryes, and install gnome-session-fallback package.
  5. Log out, and log in with Gnome Classic (no effects) session.
  6. Launch System settings application.
  7. Click keyboard layouts.
  8. Press two TAB key, and you will be see the default selected language is not equals your prewious selected language.
  9. For example jump the keyboard layouts page with CTRL+ALT+PAGEUP key combination without you correct the wrong selected language.
  10. Click All settings button without you change the automated selected language. Log out, and log in again. Your system language will be changing.

  In Unity and Unity 2d this problem not happening, because in Keyboard
  Layout preference tool the language page tab are disabled.

  I sending six screenshot with showing this problem real happening.
  First screen shot shoving original language output (hungarian), other
  screen shots shoving the language changed with English the next login.
  Installed Ubuntu 12.04 system I reproduced this issue.
