There's an upcoming rewrite of keyboard layout indicators, with a fully blown applet for layout switching - which would then be backend agnostic.

Last time someone else made a patch adding this, it ended up getting rejected as this thing was going to replace it.

I'm going to close this bug simply because I don't want someone to spend time doing that.
