[Bug 1051703] [NEW] keyboard layout applet breaks shortcuts

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I have two or more keyboard layouts, there is a keyboard icon in
the tray, along with an indication of which layout is active. When I
have only one layout, those icons disappear.

When the icons are there, the keyboard layout does not affect shortcuts.
I can use Dvorak or Russian and still do ctrl+c/v. When the icons are
not there, I need to press ctrl+[key that maps to c/v under the active
layout] to copy/paste. While this could be useful in certain cases, it
is very inconvenient with languages that don't have c or v, like
Russian.

1) Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (using gnome-fallback, in case it matters)
2) I don't know which package is responsible.
3) When I have only one layout (in System Tools -> System Settings -> Keyboard Layout -> Layouts), shortcuts should remain unchanged (i.e. the same as they would be in the US layout), no matter which the layout is.
4) Shortcuts change according to the active layout.
