@William: I tested the PPA. Remeber, Ubuntu Gnome 14.04; I have just two keyboard layouts (if you want I can check with three to).

With the PPA:

1. switching to next source works ok if I choose a normal key combo, for example, Super+Space. On pressing the combo, the layout switches, the indicator is synchronized, and I have a nice OSD display indicting the switch. I cannot set this option with modifiers only keys, as expected.

2. Setting "Modifiers only switch to next source" to Alt+Shift does not work. Nothing, no OSD, no switch in the indicator, no switch of layout.

3. Checking more, I discovered that setting "Modifiers only switch to next source" to for example Right-Ctrl + Right Shift or Compose *do* work, and the indicator follow the switch, but there is no OSD display about the switch. Also Left-Alt + Left-shift works, albeit without OSD display.

So basically the combination that doesn't work for me are the ones with plain Alt of Right-Alt involved. Could be because the Right Alt is mapped to AltGr?

In summary, it's clearly a step in the correct direction. Any idea about the OSD display not showing?
