Keyboard Layout Indicator should exist in panel by default

[Alexandros]

Here's this scenario:
You install a non-Ehglish version of Ubuntu (e.g. Greek). During installation, Ubuntu adds the related keyboard layout in addition to the standard one (in this case the Greek one) and makes sure that the shortcut for switching layouts is Alt+Shift. However, there is no clue (unless you type something on a text editor) which keyboard layout you are using, unless you add the language applet manually both in GNOME and KDE.

And it should also be possible to change the keyboard layout using a combobox in GDM.
Last time for any reason gdm was changed to arabic and i was not longer able to logon.

The default installation has only one keyboard keymap there is no reason to add extra clutter to the applet list there

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

- Adding a keyboard indicator to the default setup would not be ideal , as it would be unnecessary for the majority of the users[who use English setup] and as Sebastien mentions , would only clutter up the interface.
Invalid papercut as , papercuts are for the default install.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

However , it could be automatically added if the user has chosen a different language during install. Maybe it could be worked in the Ubuntu installer?

Marked as "Fix Released". On Ubuntu 10.04 and later the keyboard layout indicator is added automatically.
