Just a bit :)

So I'll try to put it differently.

I installed F18 Beta TC7 and since that time I am using it for my daily 
work. I selected Czech localization with Czech layout as my primary one 
during installation and English as a secondary. I did not noticed any 
issue with layout except that Gnome thing which is the most annoying 
issue I could discover (and would love to see it fixed, but it 
realistically, it will not be).

Comparing to F17, when I did the same steps, the only difference is that 
Plymouth is using Czech layout when asking for LUKS password while it 
used English in F17. This could be probably considered improvement 
considering that Czech layout have been always my primary layout.

If there is any other issue, I was not personally affected by it and 
therefore I'd love to see F18 released as it is now, possible issues 
documented and fixed in F19
