Public bug reported: I have 2 layouts in my Gnome(2.16.1) Ubuntu(6.10): English and Russian. After installing and running 'k3b' layout switching stopped working. Sometime X-restart helps. After a while I've chosen System->Administration->Language support and it said that I have some problems with language-packages and started downloading new one (with 'kde' in package name). After installing this packages layout switching has come back. When I've started k3b next time layout switching stopped working again and for this time 'Language support' didn't help me. Then I've decided to completely reinstall my Russian layout (again with 'Language support' application). And this method wins. But, after restarting Ubuntu I'm still can't switch layouts.
