This bizarre and irritating bug comes again and again on my system, at random times and sometimes when I update.
US keyboard settings apply even after deleting the US keyboard and checking that the keyboard layout chart was correct for my UK keyboard.  On the last occasion it was possible to fix by removing some files using

rm -rf .cache/ibus .config/ibus .config/dconf

There are clearly multiple places from which the keyboard settings are
derived. There should be a way of synchronising this settings from the
keyboard configuration tool, and making this persistent across updates.

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.
