Hello.

Current progress:

    write password for config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/sbin/set-user-password
to file - DONE.
    alter set-user-password to use password from file - DONE.
    merge language and layout widget to single panel - DONE.
    write locale name for localedef to file - DONE.
    add locale generator which uses data from file - DONE.
    fix layout selection for greeter session - DONE.
    add double password entry to prevent typos - DONE.
    use SelectLayout in GDM - DONE.
    add layout selection to panel - DONE.
    use separate layouts for greeter and for user session - DONE.
    display panel and password widget on the same screen - DONE.
    add layout indicator to greeter - DONE.
    properly generate list of available layouts - in progress
    version tag and update - DONE.



Problems:

Generation of layout list based on language or locale is incomplete - it works only
for some well-tested cases (e. g. Русский). More testing required for other languages
and general code refactoring needed as well.

Near-future plans:

Finish layout generation code.
Update documentation.
Other plans from timeline.

Additional notes:

Please test how it works for YOUR favorite language.
The GSoC is almost over - next week is the time for final wrap-ups.

cheers,
Max.
