Comment 24 for bug 1045914

It looks like there isn't much enthusiasm to really fix this issue without walking on razors edge between upgrading and braking packages; so maybe someone with required skills can just create (if it is possible) an extension at extensions.gnome.org with an layout indicator allowing to change keyboard layouts or, at least, to be able to see witch layout the user is using, making it easier to shortcut-switch between them and writing passwords with the right layout?
