according to the link upstream this bug wont be fixed any time soon (wont be ready for 7.4) i suggest we distribute the script using automatic update .
** Description changed: In the keyboard layout preferences, you can set "Both alt keys together change layout", which worked in Gutsy for toggling between keyboard layouts. Currently: * "both alt keys..." does not toggle keyboard layouts * "both ctrl keys..." does not toggle keyboard layouts * "both shift keys..." works fine * "Alt+shift" works fine Steps to reproduce it are: * Visit System->Preferences->Keyboard-Layouts * Press Add and add a new layout. * Close preferences. * Open Text Editor or whatever you want and write something with Double-Alts it switch layout and writes with the other layout OK till now. * Reboot. * Open a text editor and try to switch layout... Boom! It doesn't work! Temporary Workaround. Open Layouts again and remove/add the second layout to start working again. + another workaround using a script: + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/196277/comments/60 + The text in the applet will change, to make it appear to be setting the correct layout, but the changes do not take effect. Actually shortcut doesn't work at all, I set to be alts toggle in keyboard preferences, and it doesn't work, another thing is that even with keyboard indicator applet you change language, it doesn't changes, name in the applet changes, but it doesn't work. I need to open keyboard preferences, layout options, remove the tick and then put it back on keyboard layout switching shortcut.. As I said, shortcut doesn't work after this, but applet starts to change the layout, not only letters on itself. This issue has been sufficiently confirmed.
