gkbd-keyboard-display, which shows the current keyboard layout on Gnome / Unity desktop, doesn't handle keyboards with RTL characters well. See the attached screenshot for the standard Hebrew keyboard, where the key labeled "Y" should have "ט" on lower left (key pressed without modifiers) and "װ" on lower right (key pressed with Alt). Currently both characters are marked on top of each other on lower right, which makes it impossible to distinguish what characters are created by the keypress.
