Comment 21 for bug 827426

Alkis: In the top of the bug, the ultimate plan is linked, which I think is rougly what you're after:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KeyboardSettings#Use_cases

However, we're 30 hours from hard freeze so right now the priority is to make *what we have* look better: all that this has done is to replace any existing keyboard icons that were there with a keyboard icon of roughly the same size but larger buttons and more in keeping with the rest of the Ubuntu Mono top bar icon theme.

As pablomme notes in comment #14. The behaviour of having a single [El]/[En] indicator can be *tested* with:

  dconf write /org/gnome/libgnomekbd/indicator/show-flags true
