Bug Description
In Hardy, the keyboard shortcut for keyboard layout switching becomes ineffective after reboot. Steps:
1) Install Hardy.
2) Add a new keyboard layout (I added Arabic).
3) Select the keyboard shortcut for switching between layouts (I use Alt+Shift).
At this point everything works fine, but once I reboot the keyboard shortcut doesn't do anything, although the added layouts are still there.
For me, this fixes the problem (until the next reboot):
1) System -> Preferences -> Keyboard.
2) Layouts -> Click "Layout Options...".
3) Deselect then reselect the already selected combination under "Layout switching".

Yes, I can confirm that this happens for me as well using Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). The behavior is exactly as described above.
