Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
When I add e.g. Iceland/Iceland Macintosh/Iceland basic in Gnome keyboard preferences the layouts will appear in the panel switcher as Isl, Isl<sub>2</sub>, Isl</sub>3</sub>.
Instead they should appear as Isl, Isl<sub>mac</sub>, Isl<sub>
It would take a little more space but you'd actually know what keyboard layout you're using without having to recall what the autogenerated subscript index means.

I just upgraded to 10.04 beta1 and this issue got even worse. Now there's not even a subscript indication, the indicator just stays at "Isl" and the only way to find out which on it's at is to hover over it with the mouse which'll display a tooltip like "Iceland Dvorak" or simply "Iceland".
