Really? I don't know. I installed Karmic on three machines - for me and for two 
my friends and for all of them there was the same problem with switching 
keyboard layout. Also I asked other users in forum ubuntology.ru, for some of 
them was the same problem, for others was another problem - some times keyboard 
did not switch layout by keys sequences, only after switching with mouse switch 
start work properly for some time until problem do not return.
Yesterday I did fresh install. When I did installation I didn't choose any 
additional layout - only en(USA) language for interface and keyboard layout 
(all options by default except partitioning and location). After that I did 
update&upgrade, and only after that I added support of russian language  for 
GUI and keyboard layout. After that I checked layouts switching and... as you 
see I decided to report a bug. Just try to add some language (russian for 
example :)) choose en(usa) as default layout, open some application (doesn't 
meter which app, for example gedit) switch to russian and open few times 
another application (for example gnome-terminal). Every time as you open 
gnome-terminal layout should switch to default language (USA), but it's not 
always happens :(
I don't sure, I think that another problem already was reported - when runs 
authorization dialog window (like gksu) so layout doesnt switch to default if 
you work with another layout. For example, in gksu will be russian layout and 
not usa. It will be nice when authorization required the layout will be english 
only, because no one can choose password on another layout. 

Sorry for my english, if it impossible to understand tell me I will find
some english speaker that will translate because this problem is very
preventing me because I have to work with 4 languages and do not always
pay attention to layout and not for all that languages I am typing with
blind method
