How to fix Lock screen uses last active window’s language instead of default keyboard language

Here’s an easy fix:
1) open terminal
2) run ibus-setup
3) open the extra settings (the last tab)
4) check the “use system keyboard layout” checkbox

Now, how about you guys (yes, you, Canonical) make this the default settings? All I know about it is that it (probably) stores its config in gconf, but I cannot find it, so I cannot give you a patch.

Or another way is to get around by doing this:

get rid of gnome-screensaver by:

sudo apt-get purge gnome-screensaver

Install the X screensaver by:

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-data xscreensaver-gl

Whenever you forgot to switch back to English before the system locks itself, hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 log in as your admin user and kill -9 xscreensaver and you’re back in!

(It’s just a workaround and not a real “solution” but it works for me and is definitely better then shutting down and restarting)
