By old-style you mean XKB? And new-style is IBus? IBus is too buggy, keyboard layout switching only works if one types slowly (LP: #1241284), and sometimes it doesn't work at all, and sometimes the indicator doesn't get updated even if you use the new-style switching, and it needs 40+ MB RAM for lower quality layout switching than the one X has been offering out of the box for ages...
We'll blacklist IBus for schools here as it's not yet usable, so hopefully XKB will still be in a working state for 14.04.

That patch is Ubuntu-specific, it doesn't exist in Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gnome-panel/debian/patches/ The problem is that that patch also removes notification-area, so applications like pidgin, stardict etc (and even nm-applet in Trusty) don't show up at all. Please modify that patch so that notification-area is not removed, i.e. add the following lines to it: [Object notification-area] object-iid=NotificationAreaAppletFactory::NotificationArea toplevel-id=top-panel pack-type=end pack-index=1 I'm attaching an updated 41_classic_layout.patch.
