Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-
While entering my password in the "Enter your password to perform administrative tasks" dialog (when the entire desktop is dimmed), the keyboard layout indicator does not reflect keyboard shortcut-initiated (e.g. Alt-Shift) layout changes, thus it is impossible to know for sure which language I'm using to enter my password (shown as dots).
This behaviour is only observed with Compiz disabled.

I can not reproduce this, my indicator changes to reflect the layout change on entering administrative password (i. e. on Synaptic startup). Can you confirm the bug still exists on latest Lucid?
