** Description changed:

  This option is good to have, since a keyboard could be operating by
  wrong layout by default, see e.g. Bug #995715 and
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49950 concerning Logitech
- Unifying Receiver
+ Unifying Receiver, making it impossible to type password in some cases
+ by such input devices.
  
  The layout setting would affect to a possible onscreen keyboard, too.
  
  Currently system seems to try to detect natural keyboard layout, when
  using a keyboard, but this does not currently work with all keyboards,
  and it is hard to know, which is user's preferred keyboard for the
  onscreen keyboard.
