Bug description:
Dear Ubuntu developers.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be released very soon. It seems that it will be
based on GNOME 3.8 or 3.10 (you know exact version).
It seems that because of modern GNOME Ubuntu users will have very
reduced set of keyboard layout options.
Previous Ubuntu LTS version (12.04) was based on GNOME 3.4 and have
very wide spectrum of keyboard layout options. But in newer GNOME
versions, on which for example, Ubuntu 13.10 is based, this options
are very limited.
Many options are moved from gnome-control-center keyboard to gnome-
tweak-tool (see bug 1245064).
I have suggested already to include gnome-tweak-tool in default Ubuntu
14.04 installation (see bug 1270572).
But for now it seems that settings between gnome-tweak-tool,
gnome-control-center and indicator-keyboard are not consistent.
For example, if I set
"Use keyboard LED to show alternative layout" to "Scroll Lock"
on Typing section of gnome-tweak-tool the Scroll Lock does not indicate
alternative keyboard layout as expected (it is a bug).
So please, keep settings between gnome-tweak-tool, gnome-control-
center and indicator-keyboard consistent.

For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see
