Probably I could understand this issue.
In the most cases, I would think users could define their keyboard layouts with
gnome-keyboard-properties after they log into the session.
However it seems this request is to the special keyboard layouts which don't
have ASCII chars. They need to type both ASCII and the language chars.

Yes, sending multiple layouts could be a solution. However I'd think that
selecting one layout on GDM is simple.

Probably I think one solution is to configure input method.

E.g. A user chooses "ru" on GDM and log into the GNOME session, ibus checks the
user's layout, if the layout is found in the predefined list in ibus, ibus
provides the "us" layout with Ctrl + Space.
If the users could switch "ru" and "us" with the trigger key, probably I think
this problem could be resolved and if they want other language layouts, they
could use gnome-keyboard-properties.
