Dear all

Description:    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Switching the keyboard layout via system-settings->keyboard-layout updates the 
file /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd accordingly:

gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [us,de]
 options = [terminate   terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,lv3     lv3:ralt_switch,grp     
grp:alts_toggle]
 model = pc105
#************ switching layouts
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [de,us]
 options = [terminate   terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,lv3     lv3:ralt_switch,grp     
grp:alts_toggle]
 model = pc105

(Note the different order in layouts = [])Switching the keyboard via the
keyboard applet in the indicator panel does not update the kbd file

gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [us,de]
 options = [terminate   terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,lv3     lv3:ralt_switch,grp     
grp:alts_toggle]
 model = pc105
#************ switching layouts
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [us,de]
 options = [terminate   terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,lv3     lv3:ralt_switch,grp     
grp:alts_toggle]
 model = pc105

although the keyboard layout is changed. This breaks some scripts, which
need to determine the current keyboard layout.
