Title:
  Ctrl- key mappings broken for anything but first keyboard layout in
  GTK applications

Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:
  New
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  * Have two keyboard layouts (e.g. US and US Dvorak)
  * Note that when in the first one in the list, all keys function as expected.
  * When in the 2nd one, the Ctrl- mappings in Gtk applications use the first layout.

  (gnome-terminal is a good test application)

  Workaround:
  * When changing layouts for any reasonable amount of work, rather than use the keyboard layout applet, re-order the layouts in the keyboard preferences so the preferred layout is on top.

  This is a long-standing GTK bug for people who use multiple keyboard
  layouts, and as the problem has never been well understood, there are
  many misfiled bugs on it (e.g. bug #204202).

  Present in karmic and every previous version I can remember.
