I'm not quite sure about the history, but it strikes me that there may
be some misconceptions floating around in the above discussion.

On my Ubuntu 16.10 I

* removed all keyboard layout related user settings,
* set XKBLAYOUT="se" in /etc/default/keyboard, and
* rebooted.

The resulting effective layout on lightdm-gtk-greeter was Swedish as
expected.

Please note that the language chooser shown by default in lightdm-gtk-
greeter is about setting the session's display language, and has nothing
to do with keyboard layouts.

You can enable a keyboard layout switcher; please see
<http://askubuntu.com/q/821017> including the comments.

Title:
  Wrong keyboard layout by graphical login

Status in LightDM GTK+ Greeter:
  Triaged
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have installed a new xubuntu (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) on an empty system.
  My home directory is encrypted (checkbox by install). 
  The text console (F1, F2, F3... ) uses the german keyboard layout (correct).
  The lightdm 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 uses an english keyboard (maybe us) and there is no chooser.
  I also tried xdm 1:1.1.11-1ubuntu1 with the same result.

  
  /etc/default/keyboard
  XKBMODEL="pc105"
  XKBLAYOUT="de"
  XKBVARIANT=""
  XKBOPTIONS=""
  BACKSPACE="guess"

  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
  [SeatDefaults]
  greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
  user-session=xubuntu
  allow-guest=false
  [default-display]
  language=de_DE.utf8
  layout=de

  ~/.dmrc (but encrypted...)
  Language=de_DE.utf8
  Layout=de
  Session=xubuntu
