Gnome language indicator displays wrong language

[Alexander Vlasov]

I have two languages in my system, English and Russian. Switching between them works fine, but keyboard indicator always shows wrong language.

I can provide addtional debugging information if needed.

It started to happen after upgrade to 13.10, on previous releases everything was ok.

@Alexander: Have you set your input languages via System Settings -> Text Entry? If not, please try to do so and let us know if it makes a difference.

Before upgrading to saucy I had 'Capslock' as a keyboard combination to switch between languages. Now on saucy I can switch language in two ways:
1. Old way - use 'Capslock', it still works, but keyboard indicator shows wrong language
2. Using new shortcut from settings - 'Super + Space'. Language is switched and indicator is correct.

So I have a workaround - use 'Super + Space'.

Another problem that I can't set 'Capslock' as a shortcut for switching language in system settings, but it's probably a different bug.
