The bug still exists in current Hardy.

How to reproduce: go to Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Keyboard.
On the layout tab add a second layout. Uncheck "Separate layout for each 
window".
Open "Layout Options...", and select a way for "Layout switching".
Also make sure that layout switching works for you (see bug #196277).
Also select any option for "Use keyboard LED to show alternative layouts."

Now if you switch your layout, the selected LED's should go on/off to indicate 
the layout.
But they do not. This is a regression, as it worked in Feisty and Gutsy.

Appropriate section of xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "hu"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "102_qwertz_dot_nodead"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection

How could I supply more information on this?
