(Get the code!)
Hi, I've just had enough of doing CTRL-ALT-F1 login, kill gnome-screensaver etc., to look more into this and can confirm that, at least for me:
With two keyboard layouts (layout1 and layout2)
1) lock the screen with CTRL-ALT-l
2) touch mouse to bring up screensaver dialog
3) switch keyboard layout to layout2 (and note keyboard indicator indicates layout change)
4) enter password *as if layout1 was active* [1]
5) screen is unlocked
6) switch back to layout1
Repeat, but this time skip step 3 - screen is still unlocked. That is, it seems that although the screensaver dialog indicates that it changes the layout - it is always using the one layout. Brian can you confirm this?
If I get a chance, I'll take a look at the source and see if there's something I can pick off.
[1] I had to type it in to an editor as I only know the keystrokes using layout2
