Bug Description
Running GNOME3 and enabling a second keyboard layout has caused a "[broken image] gst-keyboard-xkb" to appear in my Notification Area.
gnome-shell's active layout indicator up next to accessibility and volume is present and working. But a separate thing, calling itself "gst-keyboard-xkb" with a menu is incorrectly appearing in the Notification Area.
The annoying thing in the Notification Area would appear to be related to the libappindicator3-1 dependency but may be a GtkStatusIcon driven fallback.
Rebuilding the package to remove the appindicator support patches would likely fix the issue; that's not the right resolution of course but upstream does not consider this their problem since it arrises from an Ubuntu patch.

To reproduce:
1. Log into GNOME Shell
2. Add new layout: System Settings > Region and Language > Layouts, add new layout
Observed behaviour:
Broken icon is shown at bottom right of screen, hovering over it has test gsd-keyboard-xkb. Clicking on it shows the Unity indicator settings for keyboard layout.
Expected behaviour:
This element should not appear, as GNOME shell already has a keyboard layout switcher on the top of the screen
