After some more research, the root issue here is the way gtk handles more then 2 layouts, and especially switching between them. Some users like to keep the shorctuts of the first layout when they switch to the second, while others like to have their shortcuts in the other layout too.
Currently it seems like Gtk is hardcoded for the first group of people. The 2nd group of people can't do much.
(This becomes really confusing because only gtk apps do this!)

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162726, where this issue is being discussed for more then 3.5 years now, and there still isn't a viable solution.
