Title:
  In Gnome Classic, keyboard layout indicator shows static keyboard
  icon, not layout

Status in Ubuntu network/Bluetooth/keyboard menus:
  New
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Keyboard indicator doesn't show the current keyboard layout in Ubuntu 11.10 running GNOME 3 Classic (fallback) mode.
  It shows only a keyboard icon; when clicked, it shows layout selection menu; keyboard layout switching shortcuts are working too, but I need to guess the current layout by typing, so this indicator is almost useless now.

  In Unity it shows a keyboard icon with language code near it if you
  have more than one keyboard layout, but this is not a case for GNOME 3
  Classic (fallback) mode.

  As you can see, similar things had happened before in Ubuntu 10.04
  (bug #531173) and 11.04 (bug #826719).
