Public bug reported:

Typing with the onscreen keyboard Onboard on a system with German
default layout immediately switches the keyboard layout to 'English
(US)'. Touching any key on a physical keyboard switches back to the
German default. This can be repeated indefinitely.

Onboard uses XTestFakeKeyEvent to send key events. When switching from a
physical keyboard to Onboard, the first call to this function leads to
an unwanted MappingNotify event and the keyboard map changes from
'pc+de+inet(evdev)', 'German' to 'pc+us+inet(evdev)', 'English (US)'.
Pressing any key on an attached USB keyboard switches back to
'pc+de+inet(evdev)', 'German'.

Running any of the following temporarily fixes  the problem for the current session:
$ setxkbmap de
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Restarting X brings back the unwanted layout switches.
