Public bug reported:
Lock screen (gnome-screensaver) uses last active window's language
(keyboard layout) instead of default keyboard language.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. In the system Text Entry settings:
1a. add two or more languages to the input sources list, e.g. English (as
first and default) and Russian (as second);
1b. Set hotkeys to switch sources (e.g. Ctrl+Shift or CapsLock).
1c. Select "Allow different sources for each window" radio button.
1d. Select "New windows use the default source" radio button.
2. Run any application (e.g. gedit) and switch keyboard to second input
language (Russian).
3. Lock the screen (Ctrl+Alt+L) or just wait idle time.
4. See what language set by default for password input in the lock screen.
Expected: lock screen uses first input language (English) by default.
What happened instead: lock screen uses last active window's language (Russian).
Ubuntu versions affected: Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 14.04 (daily builds)
gnome-screensaver versions: 3.6.1-0ubuntu7, 3.6.1-0ubuntu9
