Bug Description

When using Gnome-Shell 3.2 with multiple keyboard layouts, the gnome keyboard layout switcher indicator is visible in the top right of the status bar, while another keyboard layout switcher indicator with a different icon shows up in the bottom panel...

In upstream gnome-settings-daemon's keyboard plugin, a GtkStatusIcon is created using libgnomekbd. GNOME Shell blacklists that StatusIcon, since it is needed in fallback mode but not Shell.

Ubuntu has a patch that replaces the StatusIcon code with an AppIndicator, which has a StatusIcon fallback. The problem is that the StatusIcon made by libappindicator has a different WM_CLASS name. I guess the best solution would be for Ubuntu to make sure that their indicator patches to GNOME components are bypassed entirely outside of Unity.

thank you for your bug report, is that still an issue? do you know what WM_CLASS is the status icon using?

---------------
gnome-settings-daemon (3.3.91-0ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - updated gsettings-desktop-schemas requirement for the lock key
  * debian/patches/61_unity_use_application_indicator.patch:
    - updated indicators ids, combined with the libappindicator new version
      that should give the correct wm_class to the fallback gtkstatusicon
      which should fix some gnome-shell issues (lp: #878951)
    - use set_icon_full() with "Keyboard" as a11y description (lp: #740726)

  [ Marc Deslauriers ]
  * Add a new preference to lock the screen when the system suspends.
    (LP: #938076)

      determine if screen should be locked.
    - 51_always_lock_screen_on_suspend.patch: removed.
    - 54_lazily_connect_to_screensaver.patch: refreshed.
