Small addition.
I use Russian language and English keyboard by default, russian keyboard as a second. And I use user names and passwords in english course many programs and services don't want cyrillic names.
Imagine, I install Gutsy from zero, choose Russian keyboard layout, enter login and password in english, when installation process is over I reboot, and I get Russian login screen with russian keyboard! But my login and password are in english! No way to change keyboard layout, no way to login. I must set English keyboard when install and add rusian layout just after. Or, I can go to text console and edit xorg.xonf :)
It is not intuitive and not good at all. I'd preffer to configure all keyboard layouts I need when I setup my system, not after. It can be great trouble for novice user.
Solution: allow users to configure all keyboard layouts thay need from setup program or just add chechbox "Add English layout as default" on keyboard layout configure screen.
