I think the best think to do would be a "Currently Active" column in Keyboard Preferences. This would allow the user to see which Layout is active. The Currently Active column could be check box so that the user could select the desired layout.
The button marked "apply system wide" is potentially confusing, as the user could think that the layout is being applied, and making it the currently active layout.
It might also be nice if the Keyboard Indicator panel applet, was enabled when more than one layout exists in Keyboard Preferences. Perhaps, upon adding a second layout, the user could be asked if they want to enable the applet to make keyboard layout switching easy.
