Hotkeys configured in the system keyboard settings for keyboard language switching (e.g. Ctrl+Shift or CapsLock) don't work in the lock screen (gnome-screensaver).

Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. In the system Text Entry settings:
  1a. add two or more languages to the input sources list (e.g. English and Russian);
  1b. Set hotkeys to switch sources (e.g. Ctrl+Shift or CapsLock).
2. Lock the screen (Ctrl+Alt+L) or just wait idle time.
3. In the lock screen try to switch keyboard layout language using selected shortcut.

Expected: keyboard input language switched
What happened instead: keyboard input language didn't switch

Ubuntu versions affected: Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 14.04 (daily builds)
