Bug Description

When enabled two different keyboard layouts, for example Russian and English,
and enabled option "Allow different layouts for individual windows",

To reproduce:
1) configure options as described above

and type some symbols ( ensure that Russian is active)
3) open gnome-terminal and type in it, without switching layout (English is default layout)

keyboard indicator still show Russian as active layout, but in terminal you will see that English is active.

you can switch between gedit and gnome-terminal to ensure that it is stable problem.

Tested on clean install 12.04 beta1 + updates
and on updated from 11.10 to 12.04

Same problem in gnome-session-fallback
