Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: I can confirm that opening dconf-Editor and enabling
"use-system-keyboard-layout" in desktop.ibus.general works, just as
stated in comment #23: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/indicator-keyboard/+bug/1240198/comments/23

I have experienced this keyboard layout issue since Ubuntu 13.10. Since
then, different workarounds have been proposed, some of which have
worked and some of which have not, also depending on whether 13.10 and
14.04 was running. Several weeks ago on 14.04, I enabled "use-system-
keyboard-layout", and from then on this bug has never returned.

And by the way, in the meantime also e.g. this comment on Ask Ubuntu
confirms this method as "the best way to fix it", referring to this
exact bug report: http://askubuntu.com/questions/362973/keyboard-layout-
switches-to-english-each-time-i-reboot/442415#442415

Title:
  Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop

Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “indicator-keyboard” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I upgraded from raring to saucy.

  After booting into the desktop (unity), the english keyboard layout is
  active, although everything on the system is set to be german
  (keyboard layout, language...)

  Switching to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) fixes the problem and
  changes the layout to the german layout.

  all the time, the new input settings indicator says the german layout
  is active.

  # Check /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian for
