Dear Ubuntu developers.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be released very soon. It seems that it will be based on GNOME 3.8 or 3.10 (you know exact version).

It seems that because of modern GNOME Ubuntu users will have very reduced set of keyboard layout options.

Previous Ubuntu LTS version (12.04) was based on GNOME 3.4 and have very wide spectrum of keyboard layout options. But in newer GNOME versions, on which for example, Ubuntu 13.10 is based, this options are very limited.

Many options are moved from gnome-control-center keyboard to gnome-tweak-tool (see bug 1245064).

I have suggested already to include gnome-tweak-tool in default Ubuntu 14.04 installation (see bug 1270572).

But for now it seems that settings between gnome-tweak-tool, gnome-control-center and indicator-keyboard are not consistent.
For example, if I set
"Use keyboard LED to show alternative layout" to "Scroll Lock"
on Typing section of gnome-tweak-tool the Scroll Lock does not indicate alternative keyboard layout as expected (it is a bug).

So please, keep settings between gnome-tweak-tool, gnome-control-center and indicator-keyboard consistent.
