Public bug reported:
When using Gnome-Shell 3.2 with multiple keyboard layouts, the gnome
keyboard layout switcher indicator is visible in the top right of the
status bar, while another keyboard layout switcher indicator with a
different icon shows up in the bottom panel...
In upstream gnome-settings-daemon's keyboard plugin, a GtkStatusIcon is
created using libgnomekbd. GNOME Shell blacklists that StatusIcon, since
it is needed in fallback mode but not Shell.
Ubuntu has a patch that replaces the StatusIcon code with an
AppIndicator, which has a StatusIcon fallback. The problem is that the
StatusIcon made by libappindicator has a different WM_CLASS name. I
guess the best solution would be for Ubuntu to make sure that their
indicator patches to GNOME components are bypassed entirely outside of
Unity.
