(Get the code!)
I see three distinct problems here:
1. The fact that the defaul in gdm was USA, even though a different layout was selected during installation (bug 408292)
2. Setting the layout in gdm doesn't actually take effect for password entry (at least the first time...I've found that the next time around it seems to remember this setting and it actually takes effect)
3. Setting the layout in GDM (as in #2) doesn't change the layout in the session itself (in my case, it uses qwerty even though dvorak was selected on the login screen)
#1 is a regression from 9.04. #2 and #3 seem to relate to new functionality in the gdm greeter; I don't recall there being a keyboard layout selector there in 9.04.
These three issues need to be tracked separately.
