OK, so how would this work:

 * We keep gdm as it is; gdm is responsible for picking _one_ layout
which is the one used for entering the password, and the one which is
active when you log into the session.

 * We fix g-s-d to read the system default layout(s) and add them to
gconf

 * Afterwards we keep the current g-s-d behavior of evaluating
$GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT to see which of the available layouts should be
selected.

As far as I can see, this will fix the original problem, avoid
situations with empty gconf values which break the layout indicator and
layout switching, and avoid intrusive patches and even more complex
behaviour for $GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT.
