Doug Kelly: I tried your solution, but it does not seem to work for me
on my fresh Lucid install.

Just tried something else: First layout indian, second Qwerty and then
started a ping from the second layout. I could not figure out how to
quit the ping (except 'killall ping'), since all my ctrl-c keystrokes
printed indian characters. That cannot be useful under any circumstances
it seems to me.

There are bug reports about this problem existing for other gtk apps as
well, but I have not been able to reproduce the problem anywhere else
besides gnome-terminal. Anyone knows another app?

E.g. similar, more general bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599894
And a later report that the fix for the above causes the symptons we see:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602137
It is not clear to me whether this is indeed the same issue or just the same 
symptoms.

I cannot imagine that this is the intended behavior, for one because now
it is different between gnome-terminal and xterm. But if it is, it
should be more clearly documented. It is not intuitive that if you add a
new layout that whether the ctrl- key mappings change depends on the
order of the layouts.
