Bug Description
Hello. I have set two keyboard layouts under System -> Preferences -> Keyboard. The default English, and the Greek I added myself. In Layout Options, under Layout switching, I have checked Alt+Shift change group. And this has been working OK from Dapper Drake to Gutsy Gibbon. However, when I upgraded to Hardy Heron, which I use now, there was a problem. I couldn't change the layout through the specified key combination. I went to Layout Options, Layout switching, to find out that Alt+Shift was already checked, as normal. But Alt+Shift couldn't change my keyboard layout, when pressed. So, I tried to un-check and re-check the Alt+Shift checkbox. I did so, and found out that this "re-checking trick" worked. I could change layout. But when I reboot (or maybe just restart X) the problem is there again, and the solution is the same: "re-checking" the "Alt+Shift change group". I hope I was helpful and not confusing. Thank you a lot, in advance.
