I'm also running into this regression on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.10. I use two keyboard layouts, "dvorak" and "us".
* In the screensaver unlock dialog, switching the keyboard layout correctly updates the layout indicator (using both mouse clicks and the group toggle shortcut), but the switch doesn't actually take effect: the password input is processed according to the primary layout. * As an experiment, i tried switching to the secondary layout before activating the screensaver, to see if it changes the behavior, but it doesn't seem to: the dialog still "locks" into the primary layout, rather than the secondary. ** Also affects: gnome-screensaver via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662992 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872701 Title: Keyboard layout doesn't change Status in GNOME Screensaver: Unknown Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With two keyboard layouts (layout1 and layout2, where layout1 is the default for the session) 1) lock the screen with CTRL-ALT-l 2) touch mouse to bring up screensaver dialog 3) switch keyboard layout to layout2 (and note keyboard indicator indicates layout change) 4) enter password *as if layout1 was active* [1] 5) screen is unlocked 6) switch back to layout1 Repeat, but this time skip step 3 - screen is still unlocked. That is, it seems that although the screensaver dialog indicates that it changes the layout - it is always using the one layout.
