Title:
  Western keyboard layouts don't work after thai language login

Status in “language-support-th” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
  Binary package hint: gtk-im-libthai

  (I'm setting up an Ubuntu system for a thai friend of mine. The laptop
  is in my possession until Monday 29th of May to provide further info
  and debug. After that I can only get to it occasionally.)

  This is with the x86 Dapper, installed from beta2, last update today.

  When selecting the thai language in gdm login, western layouts (tried
  various, most important for me is finnish) can't type all characters.
  Specifically, the AltGr doesn't seem to work in any of them nor do the
  Scandinavian special characters (a with dots, o with dots). The
  characters that can be typed do come according to the selected layout
  and when logging in with finnish or english language everything works
  as expected.

  The characters that can be typed vary by application. It seems that
  the AltGr key is unfunctional in Gtk apps, but works in Firefox, OOo
  and gnome-terminal. The Scandinavian characters don't work anywhere.

  I have tried different layouts, changing everything that seems
  relevant in the keyboard settings and changing the font settings.
  Nothing has helped.

  I'm attaching the output of the following commands in case it might
  give some clues, but do note that I have changed almost every setting
  that's visible in these:

  $ xprop -root | grep XKB
  _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "fi", "", ""
  _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "fi,th", ",", "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"

  $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
   layouts = [fi,th]
   model = pc105
   options = [grp grp:ctrl_shift_toggle]
   overrideSettings = true

  Let me know if you need further info!
