I'm facing the same problem. The suggested "preload" fix doesn't help.
Plus I have an addition to make:
Generally, the layout can be switched either using the hot-keys or by clicking
on the keyboard indicator.
As described, after reboot the hot-keys (like Alt+Alt) don't work any more.
Then I switch the layout by clicking on the indicator, then the alternative
layout ("Cze" for Czech Default in my case) is displayed correctly, but then
the behaviour is completely odd: The keys behave as if I would permanently
press the "Alt Gr" key, e.g. when pressing the E key, the Euro sign € appears
etc.. When I switch back to German (my default layout) everything works fine
again. This step is fully repeatable.
My workaround is similar to the one given in the bug description: The
layout is correct as soon as I opened the keyboard preferences and
modifid any option (seems that I just have to change anything, no matter
what) and apply the changes. Afterwards the correct behaviour is
restored until next reboot.
Btw: Restarting gnome (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) doesn't reproduce the
problem, the problem occurs only after a complete reboot of the system.
Hope my description helps tracking and solving the issue. Greetz.
