Hi,

When powering up, the login screen uses qwerty layout instead of French azerty
like I configured in KDE system settings.
Once logged in, the keyboard layout is ok, also when logging out and in using
the login screen again.

The reason why I have this problem is that when I installed KDE Neon, I forgot
to set the Keyboard layout to FR during install.
See

Not really a showstopper for me, but it would be more user friendly if KDE
would adress this problem, I think it should be an easy fix by adding a few
lines in the system settings code, but unfortunately I am not a developper, and
I would not know in what file this small extra code would need to be put.
Apparently Manjaro KDE already took care of this, It would be nice if it would
be solved on KDE level, so the same issue does not turn up in every other
distro that uses KDE.

This could turn away new users because they are not able to login after
installation.
