With latest packages (gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.1, gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1.) Shift+Shift still does not work for me. When I try to set it in thecontrol panel UI, it sets it as 'Disabled'.

Also, even though it's marked as Disabled in the control panel, the keyboard indicator applet still changes between the two sources when Shift+Shift are pressed - however, the source doesn't actually change - so regardless of what is displayed in the indicator, it keeps typing in the original source. It seems I have to grab the mouse and change the layout using the keyboard indicator, which is fairly frustrating/confusing.

Another unusual behaviour is that, despite only having 'US International' and 'Thai' chosen for layouts in the control panel, I seem to randomly end up in a UK layout (shift-3 being a UK pound sign), and have to grab for the mouse again to get back to US. I have language set to 'English (United Kingdom)'), but that should not affect the keyboard layout, should it? Can anyone shed any light on this unexpected behaviour?
