I uninstalled ibus and I still had the problem.
I think the Win+Space shortcut to change layouts is handled by
gnome-settings-daemon, so I've put it in the Affects list.
I also think it's a bad idea to have a DE-specific way to change
keyboard layouts, because then we'd need to press e.g. Win+Space in
Gnome and Alt+Shift in a real console (vt), which is inconsistent...
gnome-settings-daemon should at least respect the xkb shortcut to change
keyboard layouts like it used to until now.

gnome-settings-daemon has problems recognizing the layout switching

Bug description:
After the upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10, I notice the iBus(or indicator-keyboard
I'm not sure) does not recognize the keyboard shortcut.
After some trying, I find that iBus change the way it recognize the keyboard
shortcut in an really strict way.
Suppose, I use Ctrl+Space for keyboard shortcut for iBus.
In order to make iBus recognizing the keyboard shortcut,
I must do following key sequence.
1. Press down Ctrl.
2. Press down Space.
3. Release Space
If, for example, after the step 2, released Ctrl before the release of
Space, iBus doesn't recognize the keyboard shortcut regardless of how
many seconds you press down both Ctrl and Space.
This change is so inconvenient for me as I have to constantly switching
between English and Japanese(Mozc) while typing text.
(Unification of Keyboard Layout and IME is really bad idea, but that's
another story.)
