Bug#778569: gnome-session-flashback: switching between different keyboard layouts does not work

[Andrey Skvortsov]

Package: gnome-session-flashback
Version: 3.8.1-7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

On clean Jessie installation in GNOME flashback session I setup two keyboard
layouts (ru and us).
But layout switching does not work neither with default shortcut (Alt-Shift,
Super-Space) nor with others (Menu, Ctrl-Shift). I've not checked all possible
keyboard shortcuts settings. Layout switching is broken only in flashback
session in normal gnome session layout can be switched as expected.

As a temporary solution I installed gxneur and created script, that is started
automatically as user logs in.

#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,ru
gxneur &
