The bug still exists in current Hardy.

How to reproduce: go to Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Keyboard.
On the layout tab add a second layout. Uncheck "Separate layout for each window".
Open "Layout Options...", and select a way for "Layout switching".
Also make sure that layout switching works for you (see bug #196277).
Also select any option for "Use keyboard LED to show alternative layouts."

Now if you switch your layout, the selected LED's should go on/off to indicate the layout.
But they do not. This is a regression, as it worked in Feisty and Gutsy.

Appropriate section of xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver "kbd"
        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbLayout" "hu"
        Option "XkbVariant" "102_qwertz_dot_nodead"
        Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection

How could I supply more information on this?
