I don't think this is unique to gnome. I have had this problem with gnome in the past and, presently, with KDE.
It seems the desktop environments are missing something about informing the x input layout about the layout change or maybe there's a bug in xorg-server-input-keyboard. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072018 Title: Keyboard shortcuts should not depend on the layout Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have two keyboard layouts: English and Russian. When English layout is active, i can launch terminal by pressing Alt+Ctrl+t. When Russian one - i can't. It's not ok.
