Title:
  closing windows sometimes switches keyboard layout

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  In GNOME, I use the keyboard layouts USA Dvorak international and
  United Kingdom (same layout for all windows, scroll-lock set as switch
  key).

  At seemingly random times, when I close windows to applications like
  gvim and chromium, my layout will switch.  I can't work out a way to
  reproduce this reliably.

  The only thing I know is that I'm happily Dvoraking away, then I close
  a window, and start typing and am surprised with gibberish because my
  layout was switched to QWERTY behind the scenes.

  I think I've experienced this since Ubuntu 9.10 at least.
