Bug Description

Using a yakkety daily iso in french (or other locales)

unity-control-center -> input lists no input method and the keyboard indicator displays a low resolution icon. The org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources gsettings key is empty.

The issue seems to be fixed by disabling systemd user session so probably a problem in that transition...

It's some kind of race I think

As far as I can see after a quick look, u-s-d asks localed for the layout in use and uses this to populate input-sources. If you restart u-s-d from within the live session then it is picked up correctly.

I know what happens, and I have a patch.

I don't know *why* it happens.

unity-settings-daemon talks to systemd-localed to find out which locale to set up the keyboard for. It puts this into "org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources". This bit works fine.

Then indicator-keyboard starts, and wants to perform some kind of migration (don't really know what the history is). This migration disregards the values that were in "sources", and doesn't itself look at localed to re-compute them. It ends up setting "sources" to an empty array.

The fix is to have indicator-keyboard append to the array, and not just overwrite it.

(Self approving the MP, since none of the usual suspects are around today and I think this is important to have in the image. Sorry if this breaks things...)
