Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* For some multi-keyboard layout users (e.g. en_US, en_GB and zh_TW) their
preferred layout on login is not immediately available - the preferred layout
defaults to the first keyboard layout even though another layout such as en_GB
is set as the current and is shown via the keyboard layout applet.
* this issue is specifically about keyboard layouts that involve ibus.
keyboard layouts where ibus is not available/uninstalled already
correctly default to the last chosen keyboard layout.
[ Test Plan ]
* Test that ibus-daemon is running
ps -ef | grep ibus-daemon
if the process is running then proceed with the test plan
if the process is not running then install ibus, logout and login
to test that ibus-daemon is indeed running
* 1) on login open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) or an application and type a
character such as the quote key or the currency key.
* If the quote key defaults to something else such as the @ key or the
currency key defaults to $ then you have a default layout of en_US.
* Add the keyboard layout applet to your panel
* from the list provided choose another keyboard layout
* Repeat test step "1)" above. Check that your chosen keyboard layout is
correctly applied.
* from the proposed repo install the following packages:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install budgie-desktop budgie-core libbudgie-plugin0
libbudgie-private0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0 gir1.2-budgie-1.0
* Logout and login
* Repeat the above testing again - on login your expected layout should be
applied e.g. en_GB if that was your last chosen layout.
* Lastly purge ibus
sudo apt purge ibus
* logout and login
* check that the last keyboard layout is applied
[ Where problems could occur ]
* Primarily the key issue is introducing a stability issue on budgie such as
crash on login.
* Additionally the other issue is introducing a regression in applying
keyboard layouts for more people rather than eliminating the issue.
* As such this fix has been iteratively developed through a multi-month
testing regime with multiple community team members

[ Other Info ]
* N/A
---
Users with two or more keyboard layouts find that their initial
keyboard layout on login is the first available layout rather than the
last layout chosen before logout.
This causes a mismatch between the keyboard layout applet and the
keyboard layout observed by the user - confusing. The user has to
switch back to the first layout and back to the last layout to
initialise the keyboard layout used.
