Public bug reported:

- Configure 2 keyboard layouts:
  - default: english
  - secondary: something else
- Set your password to something containing non-english characters
- Switch keyboard layout to English
- Lock screen
- Now you can't change keyboard layout on lock screen (hotkey does not work 
(#1244548) and there is no clickable layout indicator), so you can't enter 
password and unlock.

For some reason, clickable layout indicator appears on lock screen only
if non-english layout (or non-default layout?) is active before locking
screen.
