Comment 2 for bug 157776

In the duplicate I filed, my objection is that this applies to the _Live CD_ environment. I think Live CDs are quite important, and being able to type the @ character on a UK keyboard is quite important to us in the UK.

If a new user is taking Ubuntu for a spin, I think they'd really appreciate being prompted for a keyboard layout, perhaps at login time? Rather than discovering this later. I'd hate to find I had a working internet connection and browser, but not be able to type an email address, e.g. to log in to Google Mail.
