Description
Input method switcher panel is not displaying physical keyboard country code, but at the first login it looks like switcher is displaying used locale code.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set xserver keyboard layout to e.g. Spanish, before using iiim before
2. select e.g. German locale and login to JDS -> after login IM switcher is displaying "De", but the physical keyboard layout is Spanish and "Es" should be displayed.
3. Invoke iiim-properties -> add e.g. French keyboard to list
4. select and activate French keyboard using iiim -> switcher is correctly displaying "Keyboard-Fr"
5. deactivate French keyboard -> switcher is displaying "Fr", but it should be again "Es", because of this is user's physical keyboard layout setting.

Please also consider using keyword "Keyboard" when layout is activated. If switcher is following physical keyboard setting this is not needed as to se country code of actuall keyboard is all user needs. The "keyboard" keyword could be also quite space consuming on the panel.
