Comment 1 for bug 907298

I don't think this will work well in any way. As part of the indicators specification, left-click should always open a menu, not do an action straight away. If we were to implement this, panning through menus will unintentionally change the keyboard layout.

We don't want this to happen. If you have a good reason for this to be changed, then please discuss that on the Ayatana list. If a consensus is reached there, then you can get this bug re-opened
