gnome-control-center sets locale through DBus on the system bus: org.freedesktop.locale1 /org/freedesktop/locale1 SetX11Keyboard.

It should be fixed in feature/jessie. To be tested.

Please quote variables in shell scripts. Otherwise, it all looks black magic to me, but not too scary, and I’m happy if it works :)

Done.

See documentation of DBus schema /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/sources if interested.

It works for me (English, French, German), but there’s no applet to switch between the chosen layout and the US one, while the US one is properly configured as the second layout in the GNOME preferences. Is it a limitation of GNOME Flashback, or missing bits / misconfiguration on our side? Maybe we need to install the gkbd-capplet package (long shot at random)?

I think that’s another issue that we shouldn’t try to fix before being sure wether we use gnome-shell or flashback.

Indeed, with GNOME Classic it works fine.

With GNOME Shell, the correct layout is applied, and one can easily switch (once in the session) between the US layout and the one chosen in the Greeter, so calling this fixed. What’s left to fix (a regression that was possibly introduced when fixing this very bug) is Bug #7997.
