As workaround you can use Alt+F10 to access to the indicators via
Keyboard.

Title:
  Lockscreen: keyboard layout switching shortcuts not working

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  New Unity Lockscreen has the same problem as the old one from Gnome: the chosen keyboard shortcut is not switching keyboard layouts on it, the only way is to use mouse.
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. To make things uncomfortable, switch layout to Russian or any other with your favourite shortcut(i am using alt-shift)
  2. Lock the screen with ctrl-alt-l
  3. Try to change layout back to English to enter password
  Expected:
  Layput should change and you should be able to login without touching anything but keyboard.
  What's happening:
  Nothing, doesn't react on the keyboard shortcut, you have to change layout using indicator on top panel.
