I think that bug 1218322 (and bug 1226962; and other tagged with keyboard-layout-switching-related and  keyboard-layout-switching-hotkeys) can be marked as fixed only if all hotkeys for layout switching that may be set with current next-source<->previous-source logic:
1. can be set ;
2. can be used in Unity session and in GNOME FlashBack session (with and without effects) and in Ubuntu GNOME ;
3. do not brake other shortcuts (for example, Ctrl+Shift must allow to use Ctrl+Shift+C/V in gnome-terminal, use Ctrl+Shift+arrows for text selecting, etc.).

So we need testers that can verify that all possible hotkeys are working
normally. Test results may be written in Google Docs table
(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao5e713Ig9g_dEJrX2NRYlpLWWVzSWxsVXU4ck9HYVE&usp=sharing).

Bug description:
  New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce  old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout.
  Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly.

  Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system
  parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard
  layout.

  Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non-
  latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead
  of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with
  english layout.  If you use english and two different non-latin
  layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.

  For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322.
