This problem affected me too. I use UK keyboard layout, and when I restarted, I always got switched back to US layout. A keyboard preferences icon would appear on the top panel, so it was easy to change, but it never seemed to stick. I also tried removing the US keyboard, but whenever I restarted it was back again.

Jonathan, your fix worked for me too. the problem seems to be with the .dmrc file. Mine showed "Layout=us", however when I manually changed it to "Layout=gb", saved the file and restarted, this made the change stick.
