i have the same issue as described abode, that the layout seted up in System-Preferences->Keyboard holds till the next restart...

as a workaround i have modified xorg file

original:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
 Driver "kbd"
 Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
 Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
 Option "XkbLayout" "de"
 Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

new:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
 Driver "kbd"
 Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
 Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
 Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
 Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
 Option "XKbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

but "nodeadkeys" option does not work any more....
