--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
So what's going on here is that SDDM has a different set of settings from your
user account because the system may have multiple user accounts, and in this
case it wouldn't be able to know whose settings to apply. For this reason,
applying your user settings to SDDM is a manual process.
It would be nice if it could be automatic for the simple case of a single-user
machine. Alas that is quite technically challenging to implement without making
the user experience sucky in other ways; we would have to ask you for the root
password every time you changes a user setting that was to be synced with SDDM,
for example.
Also this particular setting is tricky because it isn't really a setting; it's
"state"--the kind of thing that is changed within a session. So if you synced
the layout manually to SDDM once using the KCM, the next time you changes the
keyboard layout, SDDM wouldn't match anymore.
Tricky problem to solve.
