Bug description:
  Super+Space is default combination for switching keyboard layouts in
  gnome3, unity, Mac OS X, Windows. Thus for consistently, Xorg;
  console-setup; and ubiquity should also use Super+Space combination
  for switching keyboard layouts.

  reading xkeyboard-config sources and documentations i don't see that
  xkeyboard-config can support grp:lwin_space and i guess that needs to
  be the first step to properly support super+space.

  
  Original bug report below:

  
  Recently I installed Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu GNOME 13.10.
  I use two keyboard layouts - English and Russian.
  So I select them on the corresponding screen of ubiquity setup wizard.

  It quietly set the keyboard switching shortcut to Alt+Shift and wrote this setting to /etc/default/keyboard:
  # ...
  XKBMODEL="pc105"
  XKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
  XKBVARIANT=","
  XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
  # ...

  On first boot of installed system the small notification pop-up showed
  that Ibus will use Super+Space for layout switching.

  Please fix this configuration inconsistency.
