[Bug 1481025] Re: Keyboard shortcut for layout switching works in Unity but not in Gnome-Flashback

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

@Aron: Since you uploaded the old patch instead of the modified patch I
prepared, there is now a discrepancy between im-config and language-
support-gnome: The former sets "cjkv", while the latter sets "xim". One
of them needs to be changed, and due to the reason mentioned in comment
#15, I think we should change im-config to set "xim".

I tested with "cjkv" on my Unity system. All the variables are empty if
not a CJKV locale, and it lead to a problem with Unity. Now this isn't
intended for Unity, but "xim" appears to be a safer alternative to use
when IBus is not set.

Comments?

Title:
  Keyboard shortcut for layout switching works in Unity but not in
  Gnome-Flashback

Status in im-config package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  My keyboard layout is "us,gr", and the new Gnome way to switch between them is by pressing "Super+Space".
  This works fine in:
   * Gnome-Flashback (Metacity) 14.04
   * Unity 14.04
   * Unity 15.10

  It doesn't work in:
   * Gnome-Flashback (Metacity) 15.10

  I've tested with the 15.10 default (Unity) installation, selecting
  Greek language in ubiquity, and adding gnome-flashback after the
  installation.

  Just for reference, here are my related gsettings:
  $ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.input-sources
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources false
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources per-window false
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources current uint32 1
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources [('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'gr')]
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options ['grp:alt_shift_toggle', 'grp_led:scroll']
