Today I did clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.

During install I selected Russian keyboard layout, layouts were switched in installer by Alt+Shift,
on system boot layout switching was quietly set to Super+Space and Shift+Super+Space (this combinations do not work in any session). Then I set Alt+Shift in Unity session - it worked, but if I start GNOME FlashBack session (with Metacity) indicator-keyboard do not react to Alt+Shift but Scroll Lock correctly reports selected layout.
I understand that Scroll Lock is hardcoded in /etc/default/keyboard {
}
but why all these options do not work together, why they are not consistent?
Sometimes I use Unity, sometimes I use GNOME and I expect that settings are system-wide, but they do not.

Guys these news are bad news.
I'm ready to help Ubuntu community to win in the battle at Keyboard Layout Switching as tried to do before (during elimination of #1218322)
