Title:
  Two keyboard indicators are visible in Gnome-Shell

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using Gnome-Shell 3.2 with multiple keyboard layouts, the gnome
  keyboard layout switcher indicator is visible in the top right of the
  status bar, while another keyboard layout switcher indicator with a
  different icon shows up in the bottom panel...

  In upstream gnome-settings-daemon's keyboard plugin, a GtkStatusIcon
  is created using libgnomekbd. GNOME Shell blacklists that StatusIcon,
  since it is needed in fallback mode but not Shell.

  Ubuntu has a patch that replaces the StatusIcon code with an
  AppIndicator, which has a StatusIcon fallback. The problem is that the
  StatusIcon made by libappindicator has a different WM_CLASS name. I
  guess the best solution would be for Ubuntu to make sure that their
  indicator patches to GNOME components are bypassed entirely outside of
  Unity.
