Wrong keys auto-typed by KeePass/KeePassX in Ubuntu

When not using the United States keyboard layout (such as azerty or qwertz), KeePass and KeePassX type the wrong keys when using the auto-type feature.  E.g. the 'Q' is typed instead of the 'A' when the keyboard layout is azerty.
As far as I found on forums, this is due to a bug in Unity, the user interface used in Ubuntu. Luckily, there is an easy workaround.

Open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T), and run the following command:

setxkbmap <your 2-digit keyboard layout code>

 E.g. for Belgium having an azerty keyboard layout with keyboard code "be", you should run:

setxkbmap be

This command can be run automatically, when any user is logging on to the system.  This is done with a ".desktop" file, similar to the procedure in my post "Automatically start Empathy at login to Ubuntu".

To create this file, follow these steps:

• Open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T)
  
• Create the file "/etc/xdg/autostart/setxkbmap.desktop", by running this command:
  sudo gedit /etc/xdg/autostart/setxkbmap.desktop

• Copy this text as contents for the file:  (replace "be" with your own keyboard layout)
  [Desktop Entry]
  Version=1.0
  Encoding=UTF-8
  Name=Fix keyboard settings
  Exec=setxkbmap be
  Terminal=false
  Type=Application
  
• Save and Close the file.

Log out and log in again (or reboot), and the auto-type feature should work.
