Title:
  Keyboard layout switcher doesn't work when I log in using the login
  screen

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have two keyboard layouts enabled on my PC, "English (USA)" and
  "Russian", they are switched by pressing Alt+Shift (the default).

  If automatic login is enabled and I get logged in when the system
  starts, without entering my password on the login screen, everything
  works.

  However, if automatic login is disabled and I log in by entering my
  password then the keyboard layout indicator disappears from the panel
  and keyboard layout won't switch when I press Alt+Shift. Basically,
  I'm stuck with the EN-US layout until I enable automatic login and
  reboot.

  The same problem happens if I log in automatically but then log out
  and log in again manually.

  This does NOT happen when I block the screen and then unblock it
  (although I have to enter the password), nor when I block the screen
  and then switch users. Also, when I start a guest session, the layout
  switcher always works normally there.

  I've tried creating additional user accounts and the problem repeats
  in all of them.

  I'm sorry I can't select the right package, but I don't know what
  causes this behavior.
