I have to machines with Ubuntu 12.04.3.
On PC in /etc/default/keyboard I have
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
XKBVARIANT=","
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll".
And in Keyboard Layout Options of 'gnome-control-center keyboard' I have the same options - Alt+Shift and Scroll Lock LED as an indicator.
Keyboard layout switching works on this PC - I can change layout with Alt+Shift in gnome-screensaver.

On my laptop (Ubuntu 12.04 clean install) I have Ctrl+Shift set in only Keyboard Layout Options of 'gnome-control-center keyboard' . And keyboard layout switching works on this laptop I can change layout with Ctrl+Shift in gnome-screensaver.

So gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu 13.10 must respect layout switching settings of current user (which were set in gnome-control-center keyboard).
