Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-
Without the indicator patch, changing the keyboard layout was a matter of one mouse click (at least if you only use two layouts). This needs to be efficient, since for multilingual text or non-pure English-users changing the keyboard layout is a very common operation.
Now this requries three clicks: click on icon -> go to groups menu -> wait .2 s until it unfolds (why is that so slow?), pick other layout.
So this now requires a lot more mouse movement and pointing, and an extra click.
Could this be changed to fold the groups into the main menu, so that it's a little less complicated to change the layout now?
Thanks!
