I have this problem as well in Hardy full updates on a Dell X1.

I use US, Latin American and Japanese layouts. I have three problems:

1) Alt+alt switching does not work (I have enabled LAlt+LShift which works)
2) "Show keyboard layout" opens a window, but no keyboard is shown.
3) Japanese SCIM input is not working.

Is there anyone who has gotten this to work that is also using SCIM?

I have edited my xorg.conf file with the following section:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
 Driver "kbd"
 Option "CoreKeyboard"
 Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
 Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
 Option "XkbLayout" "us,latam,jp106"
 Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alts_toggle"
EndSection

And I put a setxkbmap command in my gnome session. I'm afraid of setting up the script because it looks like it might conflict with the xkb settings?

Thanks!
