Well, I was asking because I know some ppl whou use >2 layouts.

Ghm. I would like to be able to check the real demand for any change I make to the code. I realize it is not always possible, but at least some effort should be made.

That is really odd. I guess it must be a bug, please file it. At least in fallback mode it works (sorry, gnome-shell is not runnable on my machine)

Ok, if we agree that it must be fixed in GNOME - would that close the subtopic about mainstream DEs (I do not consider Unity as such - let them boil in their own bugtracker)?
