Currently the keyboard layout chooser in the top bar of unity-greeter
(precise beta 1) shows the default system keyboard layout and/or the
keyboard layout of already-logged-on users. The list is missing an "add
keyboard layout" option.

I have LDAP-based users and I am deploying the same Ubuntu image to all
the machines. Users are from multiple countries, so they use multiple
keyboard layouts. I provide a default, but this is not ok for some
instances. Because the user has never logged on before, he can't choose
his keyboard layout, because it's not there. This is a chicken-and-egg
problem.

Therefore, a feature to add an arbitrary keyboard layout to the list
while on the logon screen is essential. This is already in GDM.

Alternatively, I would need to provide a subset of keyboard layouts for
the countries I will deploy Ubuntu in, but as far as I know the default
list only contains the single system default layout.
