Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Obviously, GDM has to fail when reading anything from the users home
directory if that is not yet mounted. For this reason it might not be a
good idea to rely on reading stuff from the users home directory before
authentication (PAM) has completed.
In my case GDM tries to set the preferred keyboard layout from ~/.dmrc.
This fails and I get a keyboard layout which is constantly confusing me
when I try to log in (my password is affected by the keyboard layout
setting).
GDM should have a means to set the keyboard layout preferences
independent of the user. Maybe a system-wide default would be sensible.
Or actually, the keyboard layout should be at first coupled to the
attached keyboard (type) and only second to the user. Most users
wouldn't work with a layout not matching their keyboard anyways.

Otto
