Gnome shell broken due to English (Macintosh) layout

Adding most lesser known xkb layouts trough settings doesn't work.

Some examples:
English (Macintosh)
Lithuanian (LEKP)
Or just random layout and it's at least 50% chance you will hit it.

If anything this is a gnome-desktop bug.

But, I can't reproduce. Can you give us more details about your system? At least which gnome-desktop version and distro or are you using jhbuild?
