I've applied the changeset in question
<http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgnomekbd/commit/?id=342b82bfd0308275618180652dc56e7d9b663642>
locally, built and installed resulting libgnomekbd4 and libgnomekbd-
common on Lucid daily live CD from 2010-04-05. The patched keyboard
layout panel indicator gets greenish fringes due to horizontally
squeezed glyphs, especially visible with the default Ambiance gnome
theme. Enlarging the panel height to 32px or even far beyond this as
well as reducing font size to 9pt doesn't help: glyphs remain squeezed
despite sufficient free space available.

Considering this issue with the patch, the comment
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/libgnomekbd/+bug/513152/comments/22>
is fully justified, IMHO.

It would be great if a real fix could be backported to the Lucid version
of libgnomekbd during normal maintenance of this LTS release, once
upstream provides a solution for the issue.
