In Xfce, when I press Alt+Shift keyboard indicator switch between us and ru but the layout doesn't switch actually.
Xubuntu 14.04
I've tried: different keyboards (doesn't help).
This problem appeared after I remapped a certain key following this: How do I remap certain keys or devices?
Update. The problem affects KDE desktop environment too. In Unity everything is OK.
