I can confirm the same bug, as reported by cassel.

The bug is also observed on my Dell Inspiron 6000 with Hardy-i386 updated to date. I use two keyboard layouts: US English and Russian, with a Ctrl+Shift shortcut to switch between the layouts.

After every reboot, I can use US English layout only. Ctrl+Shift shortcut does not switch the layouts, and the keyboard indicator does not change after applying the shortcut. Manual change of the layouts by clicking on the keyboard indicator does not work either: the layout name does change from English to Russian, however the actual input is still English characters.

Only removal and then addition of the Russian layout in the Keyboard Preferences resolves the issue for the current session, until the next reboot.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional info to troubleshoot the issue.
