This seems like it's a bug which has been fixed elsewhere, mterry pointed me at a couple of branches and I'll add them here.

It is quite sad, switching via keyboard shortcut works, but the distribution shown is wrong. Can be VERY confusing for new or unexperienced users. Please change the priority to something more than low.

That is strange. I am running the latest updates and the keyboard indicator works already as expected. I am using separate distribution for each window and I can switch between Spanich, Czech and Russian keyboard with the indicator indicating the right one.
I can switch both using the keyboard and mouse.

I have to correct a little bit what I wrote.

I ment that now the keyboard indicator shows correctly the current layout in the panel and updates on layout change.

But Pavol was right. When switching with the keyboard, it still has the dot in wrong place.

Thanks a lot for the fix, would you please consider backporting the updated 06_use_application_indicator.patch to Maverick? The keyboard layout indicator menu not matching the actually active layout is a very irritating experience.

I don't believe this fix would meet the requirements for an SRU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
