Title:
  Option to enable extra keyboard layout is lost

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There no any way to make extra keyboard layout to be accessible/visible in keyboard layout choice dialog. So it is impossible to use Unity keyboard configuration tool to set an extra keyboard layout (such as Iran: Avestan; Lithuania: Dvorak; USA: International (AltGr Unicode combining|alternative), Atsina, Couer D'alene Salish; Romania: Ergonomic Touchtype; Serbia: Combining accents instead of dead keys; Russia: Church Slavonic, RUU; etc.).
  KDE4 loads these layouts without any user actions.
  GNOME2 makes these layouts visible in keyboard setting dialog through enabling "load-extra-items" option.
  But Unity can't do this in any way. (furthermore, as ~/.Xkbmap settings ignoring or overriding by DE, it is impossible to set extra keyboard layout at all without making startup script)
