Bug Description

When someone adds keyboard layouts and then switches them using the keyboard, GNOME switches keyboard layouts in the reverse order than the one specified.

Here's a testcase:
1)Install Ubuntu
2)Add the Greek keyboard layout in System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts and make sure it is BELOW the USA keyboard layout in the list.
3)Do the same with the Icelandic keyboard layout and make sure it is BELOW the Greek keyboard layout in the list.
4)Add the layout switch applet.

What happens:
1)When you switch keyboard layouts with Alt+Shift, the switch is USA>Iceland>Greece>USA (reverse order)
2)If you click on the language applet, the switch is USA>Greece>Iceland>USA (proper order)

What should happen:
1)When using Alt+Shift, the switch should be USA>Greece>Iceland>USA (in the testcase)

Additional information:
1)If this bug is confirmed with KDE of XFCE or another desktop environment, please update this bug report accordingly.

EDIT: This bug happens also on KDE and XFCE

 Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention.
Does this problem persist in Karmic? Kindly test this in karmic and report back,Papercuts are minor issues that exist in Karmic

 A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

 For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

 Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "incomplete" ONLY in the papercuts project.
