This problem occurs only when using Gnome with Compiz window manager (including the use of Unity desktop). If I boot into Gnome with Metacity [Ubuntu Classic (no effects)] the "New windows use active window's layout" option in the gnome-keyboard-properties works fine.

There are two keyboard layouts in my system keyboard settings (System - Preferences - Keyboard: Layouts): USA (first layout) and Russia (second layout). 2. Checkbox "Separate layout for each window" is checked. 3. But checkbox "New windows use active window's layout" does not works. I can check it or uncheck, but new windows always use active window's layout regardless of my choice in keyboard preferences. Сheckbox "New windows use active window's layout" has no effect on the behavior of the keyboard layout.
