Yes, it is still an issue in current Lucid, exactly like I describe it in comment #24, nothing has changed since.

I'd like to emphasize that in the default case, gdm *shouldn't* modify the system-wide layout defined in /etc/default/console-setup. For me, that's XKBLAYOUT="us,gr". Yes, two simultaneous keyboard layouts are *required* for many countries.

One reasonable way to do that would be to provide an additional "default system layout" entry in the layout-selection combobox.
In other words, *gdm shouldn't assume that [us] is the default*.
