I have observed this issue after installing from the live CD when
automatic login had already begun before I had changed the keyboard
layout from US to the local one. After launching liveinst and choosing
the local scheme in the installer, GDM would still default to the US
scheme on the installed system. When the correct layout had been
chosen for the live session already, this issue did not occur. ~C
I don't think I've seen the same behavior, I did select the correct
keyboard layout after booting with the Live CD, and then installed the
Beta to the HD. When I rebooted firstboot popped up, added a new user.
When logged in as that user the keyboard was still defaulted to US
layout (I guess GDM was defaulted to that, I didn't pay attention).
IIRC, the first screen during installation from the LiveCD asked for
the keyboard layout, I would have expected GDM to default to that
layout after reboot.
I'll try again with the RC to be sure, though.
