Comment 8 for bug 1008840

Ok, I can confirm the XKB issue there, easy way to test is to run from the build dir (keyboard panel subdir):
"setxkbmap us; ./test-keyboard" (instead of "us" pick a layout which is not your default one, the code will not run if the default config matches the one used)

the issue is not due to the indicator patch but to the revert_keyboard one

reverting that commit "fixes" the issue:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-manager.c?id=42afa81cb2eba7b1b69fc60951f0b5cfc09ac45b

writing "fixes" because I get no indicator after that so I wonder if it just makes the whole code not work...

will keep investigating tomorrow but that can give a start for somebody else wanting to look at that
