I have the same issue, changing keyboard layout is not possible with the panel applet and also not possible with the keyboard preferences.
The only way to change keyboard preferences is setxkbmap.
Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 with Gnome 2.12 (updated today).
This bug describes the same issue: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15127
Severity should be major - loss of function
