That's the third example above. I'm logged in, I use the FUS menu to 
go to the login window, and then she logs in from there. It still 
gives her the wrong keyboard.

The problem I am describing only occurs when she logs in, which she 
does from time to time. I usually log her out to save RAM. So usually 
when she's using the computer, I'm logged in and she is logged out, 
she then uses the FUS menu (either by picking her name or by going via 
the login window) and then her keyboard is messed up.

I didn't know about that one, I have activated it now.

But I wanted to test some things, and my first thing was to log my 
account out and then log her in - and then voila! It worked. She had 
Swedish keyboard! Since my account has to be logged in, this was no 
viable option, but it was a result. I then logged me in and then when 
repeating all the scenarios above, she still had a swedish keyboard. 
ALl of a sudden it worked as it should, regardless of FUS or me being 
logged in or not.

So I thought maybe me logging out in the first place fixed the login 
window, so I restarted the computer but now it just seems to work. She 
gets the swedish keyboard and I don't know how I fixed it. I almost 
expect the problem to resurface, but it seems to work right now. The 
only thing I know I've changed is to add the input information to the 
login window, but wtf, that couldn't have done it, could it?

Thanks for all your suggestions either way :)
