This bug was reported in 2012 - and is still present in Kubuntu 14.04.
How can we help to fix this?
Writing the console in the lightdm.conf is no real fix.
Why is it not possible to switch keyboard layouts according to users
preferences after the user has entered hi username (or clicked on his user
picture?)
The keyboard layout should not be tied to a computer (=lightdm.conf), but user
specific: There could be a computer that is used by many different users, all
having their own layout ("semi-public" computer, shared in a library or
student's home with different people having their own account, sharing the same
keyboard...)
So why not let lightdm (who IMHO is in charge of setting the layout then)
decide after selecting the user which layout should be chosen? It could be done
like in Unity-greeter: the greeter looks up the user desktop picture and
displays it in the moment the user is selected. This must be cached in a
central place anyway because the user partition could be encrypted. But that is
solved in unity-greeter as well.
