Public bug reported:

Symptoms:

I want to set system-wide keyboard options. I edit /etc/default/keyboard
and reboot. When I log back my changes are not in effect.

Running `sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change
--verbose` fixes things: keyboard configuration changes are applied.
Running `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` also helps.
Obviously both work only until next reboot/logout.

Why I think this bug is related to unity-greeter: changing display
manager to gdm or to lightdm with lightdm-gtk-greeter makes the problem
vanish.

I'm using Awesome WM but default Unity desktop is also affected: while I
can change keyboard options in Settings -> Keyboard layout, I still
cannot apply system-wide settings from /etc/default/keyboard
