Awesome news! I found fix for this.
1) Disable of gnome control over keyboard:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active false
2) Set desired settings for xkb:
setxkbmap -option grp:rctrl_toggle,lv3:menu_switch us,ru,ua
You can add this to autostart
Here I switch layout with Right Control, Menu key is used for third level of 
keys and I use three layouts: English, Russian and Ukrainian.

One notice: keyboard indicator on panel lives in parallel reality in
such setup, so I'm using gXneur to indicate current layout (only this,
and disabled input monitoring, looks like gXneur is broken in Ubuntu
13.10-14.04 with GNOME and Unity) and disabled original one in keyboard
settings.

As the result - I have all possible shortcuts working on any layout,
switching layout with one key - right ctrl (not possible otherwise in
GNOME) and separate layouts per windows and keyboard indicator with
gXneur.

Yes, such ugly but perfectly working hacks because of "smart" decisions
of GNOME developers.
