As we discussed on IRC, this is not a feature that appears to be
interesting.
The choosen layout *must* be applied automatically in the
greeter when it is changed/chosen, without user intervention (i.e pressing
ALT+SHIFT), so that users don't get fooled by forgetting or missing this
step and are sure to use this layout when choosing the session password.
If users wants another layout to type their password, then they must press
ALT+SHIFT.

Actually, v0.0.7 doesn't work for me. On installation, I get an error
detected in line 67 of langpanel.py. Guess it's enough for you to find it.
You should *really* test your release before sending such an email.
