Bug Description

If I use the keyboard layout applet and add the support for another keyboard layout (spanish) I can't switch between the 2 layouts.

If I click on the keyboard layout applet nothing happens. I have also tried setting and using keys in the "Group Shift /Lock behaviour" section.

I have just found out that it might depend on 2 problems:
1) a well know bug according to which the keyboard layout is not displayed in the applet.

2) the fact that nvidia-xconfig (the one packaged with driver 9631 in Ubuntu) removes the following lines from the Section "Input Device" of xorg.conf (which was not a problem in Ubuntu Edgy):
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "it"
    Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"

Anyway I'll set my report as a duplicate of that well known bug
