Bug Description

As discussed in https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg22372.html

Steps:
1. Tap on "Text Entry Settings..." inside the keyboard settings indicator at the top bar, a "Keyboard layouts" page should open which lists (probably) all the keyboard layouts available in Ubuntu desktop.
2. Select a layout which is not yet available in Ubuntu Touch keyboard, for example Bengali/ Hindi.

What happens:
The selected layout appears inside the keyboard settings indicator now along with a marked checkbox next to it. But the OSK doesn't list the selected layout as expected.

Expected:
The user should not be able to select these layouts when there's no external keyboard attached, or at least the keyboard settings indicator should not show this selected layout without an external keyboard. Otherwise this gives a false impression about the availability of a missing layout.

Device: E5, stable, OTA-13
