Description Aleksandra Bookwar 2011-02-03 16:49:58 UTC 
1) boot Fedora TestDay 64bit Live-image in VBox 
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-03_GNOME3_Alpha
2) update control-center and control-center-filesystem packages to 
  	control-center-2.91.6-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm
	control-center-filesystem-2.91.6-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm
   from 
 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=216849
3) go to "System settings" - "Regional Settings ang Language", add Russian layout
(switching the flag "separate layouts" does not affect the bug)
4) go to Options and add "Left Win" key for layout switching

Result:
 There is an icon in the system tray which shows current layout.
 Pressing th button "Left Win" changes the state of the icon from "en" to "rus"
 But applications like empathy, gnome-terminal, gedit ignore this switching.

 At the same time Pidgin, firefox, xterm recognize layout well.

Non-gnome apps handle that correctly. It means from XKB POV everything's peachy. It is gtk(+vte?) issue
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2011-02-04 22:01:57 UTC 
This is more XI2 fallout. Calling gdk_disable_multidevice() makes it go away
Comment 3 Alexey Torkhov 2011-02-13 12:34:23 UTC 
Still having this problem in gnome-terminal with gtk3-2.99.3-2.fc15.x86_64. I guess it should be rebuilt with the fix.
