I use both USA and Israel keyboards.

I set Alt-Shift as well as the Windows keys to switch between keyboards, using System-> Preferences-> Layouts-> Layout Options->Keyboard Switching . This works OK.

However, every few days, I find that the keyboard no longer switches, whether with the shortcuts or the toolbar-button. I can't figure out what conditions this bug.

When I go back to the Keyboard Switching GUI, and re-set the shortcuts, then the keyboard does correctly switch, whether with the shortcut or the toolbar-button.

How can I convince the keyboard-switching functionality to work consistently?

(Using Hardy Heron and Generic 105-key Intl keyboard.)

See this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785755) where I've given an answer to a very similar problem.

Hope it helps!
