Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

Without the indicator patch, changing the keyboard layout was a matter
of one mouse click (at least if you only use two layouts). This needs to
be efficient, since for multilingual text or non-pure English-users
changing the keyboard layout is a very common operation.

Now this requries three clicks: click on icon -> go to groups menu ->
wait .2 s until it unfolds (why is that so slow?), pick other layout.

So this now requires a lot more mouse movement and pointing, and an
extra click.

Could this be changed to fold the groups into the main menu, so that
it's a little less complicated to change the layout now?

Thanks!

changing keyboard layout takes too much effort now -- move layouts into main 
menu
