Two keyboard layout indicators

Hello,

I'm using several keyboard layouts on Gnome 3.2.1 and Ubuntu 11.10.

The keyboard indicator appears both in the top panel and in the tray below (c.f. screenshot). Although trivial, it is i.m.o. a redundant feature.

Hope to help.

That is a known problem, but there is nothing we can do about it: Ubuntu has patched gnome-settings-daemon to use libappindicator, which falls back to legacy status icons if the required DBus daemon is not running. This is the case when running GNOME Shell, which does not support app indicators (the "indicator" in the top bar is build into the shell), so the patched g-s-d falls back to a legacy icon which is shown in the message tray.

Given that the problem is caused by a downstream patch to gnome-settings-daemon, you should file a bug report on launchpad.

So Canonical's the culprit. Thanks.
