The keyboard settings affect only the selected application, not the
whole setup (and this happens on Windows too). There is a small checkbox
where you can point that the keyboard layout changes affect all
applications. That should probably solve your problem.

Also, the "Keyboard indicator" applet would show which layout is
selected for the current window.

Why don't just right click the clock and select "Preferences"?
