I once had a problem with the lightdm greeter, a US locale, and a French keyboard where when the computer would go into power-saving mode, and I'd wake it up again to type my password into the greeter, it would default to a QWERTY. Same for the console. Of course, this is of no help to anyone, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. It seems to me that locales used to present some difficulties over here (I guess before UTF-8 came along). I still receive emails from time to time where the accented characters are all screwy. I don't really know how they achieve this.
