** Description changed:

  == General description ==
  
  On some Ubuntu installs with two or more keyboard layouts (e.g. Russian
  and US English), after some time the keyboard layouts start switching in
  an endless loop and gnome-settings-daemon starts using more and more CPU
  until it reaches 100%.
  
  == Known information ==
  
- 1) Most people here confirm that this happens with non-GTK (Java or Qt) 
windows more often then with native GTK.
+ 1) Most people here confirm that this happens with non-GTK (Java or Qt) 
windows more often then with native GTK. (probably, might be a coincidence)
  2) Possible fixes are killing and restarting gnome-settings-daemon or 
disabling the "Separate layout for each window" option in keyboard preferences 
window.
  3) The second fix, however didn't work for some people.
  4) The bug happens both on upgrade installs and clean installs of Ubuntu, 
confirmed with RC and Alpha 3.
  5) The bug is specific to Ubuntu, not exisiting in Arch Linux and AgiliaLinux.
  6) Having such a problem in a final release will make keyboard use very 
problematic for Russian users, so Ubuntu can lose many users.
  7) The bug is still not fixed in GNOME 2.32, which again proves that it's an 
Ubuntu-specific issue.
  8) For some users, the bug disappears after 2 to 15 minutes of use.
  9) Confirmed for almost any key set for switching layouts (Shift+Alt, 
Shift+Ctrl, CapsLock, Alt, Ctrl)
- 10) Probably happens only with Cyrrilic layouts (Russian, Macedonian)
+ 10) Confirmed for both Latin and non-Latin layouts.
+ 11) Permanent fix is to disable g-s-d keyboard plugin in gconf, not fully 
confirmed though.
+ 12) Confirmed as a g-s-d issue, both with and without indicators.
