Bug Description
1. Add the ubuntu-desktop PPA on Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy"
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install indicator-keyboard
2. Log out and log back in.
2. Open System Settings>Region & Language
3. Switch to the Text Entry tab.
4. Click the + button to add at least two more keyboard layouts.
5. Log out and log back in.
6. Try to use the (new) default Super+Space keyboard shortcut to switch between keyboard layouts.
What happens
-------------------
Usually, Super+Space is ignored. It worked for me once on login but every other time I tested it didn't work.
It works fine in GNOME Shell but not in Unity.
gsettings reset org.gnome.
seems to be enough to nudge Unity into respecting the Super+Space keyboard shortcut.
My guess is that Unity is too aggressive in binding the Super key to itself.
Workaround
-----------------
Shift+Super+Space, the keyboard shortcut to switch backward between keyboard layouts works.

There's a patch applied which disables the input trigger from working under Unity because IBus' shortcut conflicts with g-s-d's media-keys if the accels match. I added this patch because with the keyboard indicator + g-s-d input sources, I thought it'd be unnecessary to have IBus do any switching.
