Comment 27 for bug 1246272

Workaround:

create a shell script named kblayout.sh and paste the following in it (change the xkb-layout according to your preferred layout):

#!/bin/bash
gsettings set org.freedesktop.ibus.general engines-order "['xkb:de::ger', 'xkb:us:eng']"

now set the script to be executed at login by creating an entry in your start applications.

This worked for me and should be ok until this bug is fixed.
