Title:
  Lockscreen: keyboard layout switching shortcuts not working

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  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.

  [Test Case]
  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.

  [Regression Potential]
  1. There may potentially be missing keyboard shorts.
  2. Key grabs may persist after the lockscreen has been released.
  3. new code contains dynamic memory allocation, which always introduces potential leaks, crashes, or exhaustion
