Bug Description

In Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.2.2-3ubuntu1) if I set 2 keyboard layouts in gnome-keyboard-properties and set the Layout Switcher to "both ALT keys together" this trigger only works partially.

It can switch from the NON default layout to the default one, but not vice versa.

Setting other switches (I just tried leftCTRL+leftSHIFT) works two ways as expected. However there is a small issue here too: despite having choosen leftCTRL+leftSHIFT it triggers also when I press leftCTRL+RIGHTshift.
