You could probably set it in xorg.conf.d, but I wish there was a better
solution. This problem keeps coming up, infrequently, but persistently
over the years.
OK, let's see. The indicator in unity panel writes to gsettings.
gsettings monitor org.gnome.desktop.input-sources current
Unity-settings-daemon listens for this key's changes and in response sets the
root window property _XKB_RULES_NAMES. As I understand it, that's basically
what setxkbmap does too.
xprop -root | grep XKB
However, unity-settings-daemon seems to always add the us layout as a second
group, something "setxkbmap it,us" would do.
setxkbmap -query | grep layout
layout: it,us
I don't know why that happens. There's probably a good reason for it,
but I could imagine this is what exposes you to the old bug #837456.
