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

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

1) It works fine for me with no regressions at all, thank you very much.

2) I just noticed that contrary to what I wrote in the bug title, ibus also breaks Unity, but only a little, so I hadn't noticed before.
It eats up the accent but only the first time that the user tries it. I.e.
";" + "a" = "ά"
...does work in Unity, but not the first time after the layout switch, where a play "α" is output.

3) About the "no longer affects: ibus, gnome-flashback" etc, I think that those were still valid, that the 1% of the Greeks or other locale users that need ibus or fcitx to type in hebrew etc, shouldn't have their local language broken.
But it's OK for me if we want to keep this one specific to im-config. Someone in that 1% can open another bug report.

Thanks again.

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

Status in im-config package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
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']
