Title:
Ubuntu does not provide keyboard shortcut to change keyboard layouts
by default

Bug description:
After setting up alternative keyboard layout during installation, or
post-install in the System Settings, one can only switch keyboard
layouts using the keyboard indicator in the unity panel. One cannot
use a keyboard shortcut to change the keyboard layout as none are
enabled by default.
A very common shortcut to change keyboard layouts is Alt-Shift.
And if askubuntu.net is any indicator questions relating to keyboard
shortcuts to switch layouts are very popular:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/68127/how-to-switch-language-keyboard-combination
http://askubuntu.com/questions/34210/toggling-language-with-altshift-doesnt-work
And possibly many other similar question.
I believe Ubuntu Operating system should provide/enable a keyboard
layout switching shortcut by default when more than one keyboard
layout is configured.
I have tested and Alt-shift works correctly with Unity Hud and Unity
Dash, with no conflicts or confusing behaviour (e.g. pressing alt
clearly triggers hud, and one can use alt+shift to clearly change
layout with or without HUD active).
