Title:
  GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect

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

Bug description:
  After setting up Alt+Shift keys to change the keyboard layout (via
  gnome-tweak-tool or via gnome control center), these key combinations
  do not provide the expected result.

  Expected Result:
  Keyboard layout is changed and keyboard indicator display updates

  Actual Result:
  Only keyboard indicator display updates, leaving the actual keyboard indicator in English.

  I have English-Hebrew keyboard layout configured with alt+shift for layout switching.
  Once the layout is on Hebrew, alt+shift switches back to English properly. 
  Once the layout is on English, alt+shift changes the keyboard indicator to "he", but actually the systems layout is still English.
  At this point, pressing Alt+Shift results in changes to the indicator display only, resulting in no actual layout switches.

  If "Allow different sources for each window" is selected in "Input Sources Options" then:
  - Changing the layout to Hebrew.
  - Alt-Tab to another window with a different layout.
  - Alt-Tab back, allows me to type back in Hebrew.

  When Alt+Shift "switches" to English:
  $ setxkbmap -query
  rules:      evdev
  model:      pc105
  layout:     us
  options:    compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle

  When Alt+Shift "switches" to Hebrew:
  $ setxkbmap -query
  rules:      evdev
  model:      pc105
  layout:     il,us
  variant:    ,
  options:    compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle

  Which seems right. But still when typing, English chars are being
  typed.

  I tried this with the packages from the official repos, gnome-ppa, and ppa:attente/1218322 as described here:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/356357/how-to-use-altshift-combo-to-switch-keyboard-layout-in-13-10
  All with the same effect.

  Ubuntu 13.10
  gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu9
