Public bug reported:
Not sure about the package, its the keyboard switcher indicator in Unity
12.04.
I go to Keyboard Layout Settings and add either Korean layout. But
unlike other layouts, which are active immediately, selecting either one
uselessly switches to American layout. (The same seems true of all
Japanese layouts, except Kana, which oddly defaults to Katakana, rather
than the more common Hiragana.)
Probably hitting the Hangeul key (misspellt as Hangul, either revised,
official since the 90s: "Hangeul" or old-style "Hangŭl") should turn on
the Korean layer. However, this is not only counterintuitive and an
annoying extra step, worse, it doesn't work for me. For one thing I
don't have a physical Korean keyboard, so no Hangeul key. In the
"(101/104...)" variant the "Alt Gr" key supposedly plays this role, but
it has no effect in various apps (dash, hud, Opera, chromium, keepass).
Emacs does notice it, but says "<Hangul> is undefined".
There is another drawback to default American: since "Show Layout Chart"
only highlights the typed key, but doesn't show its effect, you never
see the Korean layout.
Korean keyboards I've seen (under Win) seem to always default to
Hangeul, which is natural. But if you have strong feelings against
this, at least make it an option!
