keyboard layout EN after boot

This should fix the problem in 13.10 and 14.04:

In the ubuntu software center, install "dconf Editor" (dconf-editor) (if you don't already have it). Open it, then open desktop -> ibus -> general. Now enable the property "use-system-keyboard-layout". (You want it to have a checkmark next to it.)

Run command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data  

Now use the Keyboard Icon to reset to whatever it should be - viz the diagram.
