When I was using 13.04, I had CapsLock for layout change. In 13.10 I changed it 
to ctrl+space, since CapsLock was not available.
Now I have ctrl+space for switching between [English, Russian, Ukrainian] AND 
CapsLock for switching between [Currently active in indicator, English]. So if 
I choose Russian in indicator, I can press CapsLock to switch English/Russian 
(but the change is not reflected in indicator). If I choose English, nothing 
happens when I press CapsLock (or maybe it switches to "another" English)

This is even more confusing after locking (ctrl+alt+L) session. Consider the 
use-case:
1. I choose Russian in indicator (either with mouse or pressing ctrl+space)
2. I press CapsLock, so I’m now using English while indicator still shows 
Russian
3. I press ctrl+alt+L, to lock session, so now I see a password field (with 
asterisks, of course), and another language indicator (to the right from the 
password field)
4. Now I cannot switch using ctrl+space. I can switch using CapsLock but only 
between Russian (since it was active in indicator before) and English, and I 
have no idea about what my current layout really is :)
