@ Aliaksandr
Please stop writing such phrases.
The bug is almost fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 in all sessions.
If you have concrete problems - write here about them, not holy war emotions.
Also you can quietly test your exotic <Right Control> layout switcher in other distros. You can help Ubuntu community to fix this bug too.
