That's weird, it did not happen to me when I installed 12.04. Did happen on 11.10 but it was fixed after an upgrade (when the fix was released).

(probably, might be a coincidence) 2) Possible fixes are killing and restarting gnome-settings-daemon or disabling the "Separate layout for each window" option in keyboard preferences window. 3) The second fix, however didn't work for most people, though it might really reduce the probability of the bug appearing. 4) The bug happens both on upgrade installs and clean installs of Ubuntu, confirmed with RC and Alpha 3. 5) The bug is specific to Ubuntu, not existing in Arch Linux and AgiliaLinux. 6) There are users who experience this problem with Russian, Slovakian, Macedonian, Hebrew, Georgian layots. Having such a problem in final release will make keyboard use very problematic for users from these countries, so Ubuntu can lose many users. 7) The bug is still not fixed in GNOME 2.32, which again proves that it's an Ubuntu-specific issue. 8) For some users, the bug disappears after 2 to 15 minutes of use. 9) Confirmed for almost any key set for switching layouts (Shift+Alt, Shift+Ctrl, CapsLock, Alt, Ctrl) 10) Confirmed for both Latin and non-Latin layouts. 11) Permanent fix is to disable g-s-d keyboard plugin in gconf, not fully confirmed though. 12) Confirmed as a g-s-d issue, both with and without indicators. == Debug == APPORT DATA here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/633167 and here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/633346 MORE LOGS: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/636619 GDB DATA: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/629444 XSESSIONERRORS: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/630712 RANDOM LOGS: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/64082 XEV OUTPUT: infinite loop of PropertyNotify event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x6000001, atom 0x174 (XKLAVIER_STATE), time 11886812, state PropertyNewValue [NEW] GSD output: (gnome-settings-daemon:2057): libappindicator-CRITICAL **: app_indicator_set_label: assertion `IS_APP_INDICATOR (self)' failed P.S.
