Keyboard layout switch "locks" switching buttons

["Sergey Podatelev" <brightnesslevels gmail com>]

Hello GNOME people,

I think there's a bug in keyboard layout switching behavior.
The problem is, when I select specific button or a combination of buttons for layout switching, this button or combination will not be "seen" by the system even if it's present in any other hotkeys combinations.

Here's an example: if I select "Alt+Shift switches the group" option, I will not be able to use "Alt+Shift+Tab" combination to switch to previous active app. I'm no developer, but It's like the event listener that intercepts the layout switching buttons, totally hides the event from any other listeners. Another example: if I use left winkey for layout switching, I can't assign anything to combinations like "winkey+%" because no process except layout switcher will notice the fact that winkey was pressed.

So if it's possible, it would be great if the switcher would be fixed so it will allow other applications to use same buttons in hotkey combinations. Although even if it's not, I will still love GNOME :).
