Title:
  Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock
  and login screen

Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock screen (to
  change keyboard layout for entering password).

  - Switch to some non-english layout (otherwise lock screen will not have layout indicator at all)
  - Lock the screen
  - Press your shortcut for changing keyboard layout (i.e. ctrl+shift) -- it will not change layout
  - Clicking layout indicator near password entry box works
