It's strange that the gnome-screensaver (bug 49222) and gksu / gksudo do
not use the same dialog mechanisms. I think a bigger bug is that they
should both use the same code.
I tried reporting it at Gnome. This bug (
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537486 ) was listed as not a
gtk bug.
I'm running Intrepid beta. Sometimes I have to cancel gksu, switch keyboard
layout, restart gksu.. That's annoying...
We need a keyboard layout indicator/switcher like on the Unlock screen
dialog. (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/49222)
Thanks.

this affects the vast majority of (if not all) non-english speakers.
if we look at some other operating systems, most of them have an
keyboard indicator on their login/password msgbox. i believe this is a
good idea to implement.

Can't switch keyboard layout in gksu
I use 3 layouts (english, french, russian) and without indication it's really
hard to guess which one was active when I got gksu dialog.
Gksu should show the current keyboard layout and caps lock state, like in
windows xp login dialog.

I suffer from this issue too on Dapper. My native language is Greek. I use two
layouts en_US and el_GR and switch bettween them with ctrl+alt+shift.
I have selected en_US layout as the default layout and clicked the separate
group for each window.
This way when I start an application it's window
