How do I apply changes to the keyboard layout system-wide?

Question

In GNOME's keyboard settings there used to be an "Apply System-Wide" option, but in Oneiric this is now no longer the case.

If I use the keyboard settings to change my keyboard layout, the changes are applied only in my session; on the login screen, the old keyboard layout still applies.

How can I apply a different keyboard layout to my entire system?

You might want to try the workaround suggested on the launchpad bug.

1) Edit file /etc/default/keyboard changing the lines:

    XKBMODEL="pc105"
    XKBLAYOUT="us"
    XKBVARIANT="intl"
    XKBOPTIONS=""

2) Run in terminal(ALT+T) sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
